Feb 26, 2004 Normally I'm not a huge fan of bitterness in beer but the Blue Paddle has a comfortable tinge of bitteress to it. It has a medium golden chroma to it. Another fine beer. New Belgium has yet to disapoint me.

Feb 26, 2004 An average plsner with a bit of bite and not very much flavor to enjoy. For a thirst quencher, not bad and better than the average lager.

Feb 24, 2004 Light gold/hay appearance, little head. Aromas are slight: wheat grass, oregano, citrus. The flavor is quite herbal, like an provincial herb tea, and somewhat in keeping with the wheatgrass aromas. A lemon farm in winter. Finish is crisp and bright, it cleanses the palate nicely. Outstanding late summer session beer.

Feb 24, 2004 Golden yellow in color with a white head which leaves intricate lace to the bottom of the glass. The nose has more malt than the delicate hop aromas of a pilsner. Alive in the mouth, with a clean, crisp dryness. Grassiness to go with th e lawnmower.

Feb 20, 2004 Light golden hue with a moderate head that left decent lace trailing down the glass.
Nose is subtle malt, a hint of yeasty banana, virtually no hops.
Taste has some good hop bitterness with a dry, somewhat astrigent finish. Nice enough, but the esters that seperate a good pilsner from a blah pilsner just seem to be missing here.

Feb 14, 2004 Updated: Dec 5, 2006Fort Collins has lots of good pilseners but this is the finest. New Belgium can always be trusted.

Feb 7, 2004 Not much to say about this beer.
Pour is golden with a frothy white head that leaves clumps of lacing behind.
Aroma is doughy, maybe a little lemon in the background.
Flavor is a little lacking, citrusy with a lttle bit of spice.
Finish is crisp and clean.
just okay

Jan 25, 2004 New Belgium comes through again. I'm not even much of a Pilsner fan but this one got my attention. A very nice, cris brew (as Pils shouls be) with a citrusy start and a hoppy finish.
