Mar 6, 2004 Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates down to thin sheet.
Aroma is strong and full and I can't quite name everything that I can pick out in it. It's got definite notes of fresh grain and lemon, with spices. There is a creamy sweetness to it also. Like literal cream, or whipped cream. Just a little touch of sweet also.
Flavor is spicy, hoppy--definitely Saaz, one of the few hops I can pick out by name--with some elagantly smooth maltiness.
This brewery had irritated me in the paste with some pretty cocky labels. Some of their beers live up to their labels but others don't. This one lives up to billing. I have yet to have a Pilsener style beer that has near the depth of this one. It has the spicy hoppiness that Victory's Prima Pils does, but it really has a much better maltiness to it. I highly recommend.

Apr 29, 2004 Be careful when pouring or the head will take over. Simple brew that proves the point of "less is more"! You can tell not a lot of ingredients go into this, but what is there balances extremely well

Jul 9, 2008 I had this from a bottle that seemed like it was just bottled. It was extremely fresh. Paired with a nice cheese, this beer was extremely bready, fresh Saaz hops are spicy but not over powering. The bready body was really nice. Clean golden body with a nice white head. Great mouthfeel. Creamy and bready. This was stupendous and apparently nobody ever drinks it fresh because it was fantastic! Ughsmash and DavidP were in my company and agreed.

Aug 28, 2004 Tap. Pours a clear straw color with a nice white head. The aroma is of clean hop notes.. It goes down with a light body and slightly bready malt quality. It finishes with crisp hop finish. Pretty balanced, though. I normally do not like pilsners too much but this beer is quickly becoming a favorite.

Apr 23, 2005 Pours a hazy golden-straw with a nice fizzy white head that leaves some lacing in my glass. Flowery and grassy aromas, bready cracker like flavors. Light bodied with a crisp and carbonated mouthfeel, finishes dry and bitter. I must have gotten a really fresh bottle, this is a damn nice beer.

Jul 4, 2009 What a great brew for a hot summer day. Deep yellow pour with slightly cloudy body and respectable white head. Aroma of grain with very slight hops or citrus overtones. Crisp, clean flavor of light malts and pleasant dry finished with just a smack of hops at the end. Less can be more and more ins’t neccessarily better... Or, whatever. But for a refrshing summer brew this is great.

Jun 20, 2002 Good, but not great, like most are from new holland. Here’s the thing about new holland, it is the only thing remotely cool about one of the lamest cities in the entire country.
