Really never cared for Pilsner’s but I truely loved this beer. The aroma was very different but good. Taste was super smooth and didnt leave a bad after taste in the least bit.

Pours a bright, luminous gold. Clear, crystal clear. Head is creamy and dense. Smells of herbal hops. Saaz? Taste is grassy and peppery malt backbone. Nice hops. a bit of a metallic finish. A bit thin in the mouth. Crisp up front and then creamy. Damn good drinker. This may be a new regular summer beer for me.

12 oz. bottle. Dark, hazy gold pour with thick white head and some chunks of lace. Pretty impressive for a pilsner. Nose was bready. Flavor was malty but not much going on. Crisp and kinda refreshing. Likely the best pilsner I’ve tried.

Not bad. Had it on draft in Phillipsburg N.J. kinda fruity for a pils. Not much of a crisp clean finish. May have to try one with a newborn freshness date to know for sure. I was probably the first one to get this handle pulled here. I might as well been driking Scrimshaw 98’.

So this is not North Coast’s best beer, but this is one of the best pilseners available. Very smooth and flavorful, easy to down a few in a row, very refreshing. Only in th 43rd percentile in all beers (7/06) but in 82nd in its style. Will def try again.

There is quite a variable rating response to this beer. My sample was fantastic. It’s hard to make a North American pilsener that’s worth talking about, but this one did it for me. Deep rich slightly orange-gold. Faintly floral aroma. Terrific pale malt foundation with flavours of apricot, edelflower, and guava. Medium bodied, subtly complex, and extremely drinkable. Fantastic!
