Sharp representation of the style. Strong bitterness, The saaz hops really come through. The nose prepares you for the big maltiness that is to follow. Crisp clean pilsner but carbonation could have been more vigorous. Its sad that pilsners will never get the same attention that many other big bold black beers receive. But the true connoisseur should be able to find the beauty in the simplest of styles. Good work New Glarus. You continue to earn my respect.

Dec 24, 2009 12 oz bottle acquired in trade with Soonah. Pours a clear gold with a 1/2" white head that recedes leaving rings of white lace. Aroma is grains and malt. Thin to medium palate with a crispness to it. Flavor was grains/grass with enough malt to balance it. A bit of spice and a touch of the hop to make it interesting. Nicely balanced brew.
