Aroma is a stinky and smells like a dirty laundry. There is little evidence of hops in the aroma but thats the only beer like smell. Color is a dirty blonde with small head. The drink is mild flavor of old stale hop and grain malt but very similar in its delivery to a european strong ale or european pilsner style. Still comes up empty though

Slighty hazy pale gold with athin white head. Malty-corn aroma, but I picked up a slight citrus note. Malty taste with a pleasant hoppy finish.

12 oz bottle. Clear yellow gold por, big white head that settles into a dense veil. Nose is mostly malty, a touch funky. Mildly engaging flavor, well balanced and light. Nothing spectacular, but solid, like their wheat.

Usually don’t like pilsners, and it had a rather boring appearance and aroma, so wasn’t expecting much, but turned out to taste great. Medium body, hits malty at first, then has a nice lemony finish. Enjoyable summer beer or with a meal.

On tap at Plumpjack in Squaw Valley.

Pours a nice sparkling light yellow pils with a fluffy white head. The aroma is rather weak on this one, but the flavor comes through with a nice, slight maltier-than-average complexity and a pils-hops finish that makes this slightly lemony beer pleasing enough to drink.

I’ve got to admit that I wasn’t really in a pilsener mood when I tried this one, so it probably deserves a re-rate.

<!-- i -->Bottle.<!-- /i --> Nice looking pils, I’ll give it that. Nice active carbination. Doesn’t smell like anything. Not good, not bad, not anything. Light in the mouth. In fact, the mouth is just a tick above the nose. I guess there’s a crisp hoppiness to it. The thing that got me, though, is that the lingering mouthfeel is peppery ... but I don’t mean peppery in a spicy way ... I mean peppery in a black pepper way. ?!?!? Probably not one I’d seek out again.

Golden yellow color with a slight haze. Aroma is sweet with malts and fruitiness, taste is thin and malty. Not much going on here...
