Fresh smell with floral and bittersweet malts. Taste gives a medium bitterness up front. Crisp, dry and refreshing with an almost floral and strong woody bitterness. Well carbonated. Fantastic drinkable, and crisply bittered pilsener. Glad I tried this one again as it makes a perfect summer beer while tending the smoker.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 3, 2007 Bottle. Light amber, average aroma. Some biscuit notes. Enough maltiness to balance the crispness. Fairly dry. Good for a pilsner. ilovedarkbeer (1365), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jun 2, 2007 Not very good. Low hoppiness and watery taste. Slight skunky taste to it. Needs to be opened and let breath. andyhite (293), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 28, 2007 bottle (thanks A-rod). crystal clear copper-yellow hue with a foamy 2-finger head, but has no retention. the aroma is a blend of yeast and hops, with grassy tones as well. the taste is a little thin, but has nuances similar to that of a sauvignon blanc; minerals, grass, and a little white grape flavor as well. the hops ring in towards the finish, leaving a refreshing hop and taste and grainy texture, but still a bit too thin and dry on the finish. while it doesn’t scream unique, it’s a good after-work beer. i just hope it’s not too pricey. smhncabot (310), Cabot, Arkansas, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 22, 2007 Pours pale gold. aroma faint grassy hop aroma and corn malt. taste has some hay and crystal malt that fades into a moderate grainy, spicy bitter finish. pretty watery and doesnt rate next to any good pils. theisti (1681), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 16, 2007 Very average lagery tasting beer. Pours very clear, nothing special about this beer other than the metallic aftertaste noted by others. Rictus (126), Camdenton, Missouri, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 14, 2007 Hoppy typical lager aroma. Light gold and bubbly. Head is small and dies quickly. I only really taste the hops. Very light and crisp, but boring. Watery with average carbonation. Good beer, just didn’t like it much. notoutpink (6), Seattle, Washington, USA does not count | 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 9, 2007 If you are going to go for a light New Belgium beer I would strongly recommend Skinny Dip over Blue Paddle.
