Apr 8, 2009 Can. Pours with a clear golden body and a foamy white head. Aroma is saaz hops, straw, grass and sweet dough. Slight spicy hop note. Taste is malt, bread and and light spicy hops. A bit grassy and a bit thin. Fizzish.
I drank this a bit too warm I think.

Apr 8, 2009 Pours a sparkling clear, golden color with a small, fizzy, white head which is mostly diminishing and leaves minimal lace. Nose is mostly grainy bread with some honey malts and herbal hops with faint spicy notes. Flavor is a bit better with honeyed bready malts, toasted grains, a spicy moderate bitterness, and a bit grassy or herbal. Not a bad taste but I miss the overwhelming spicey bitterness and the floral notes usually found in Pils’s. Palate is standard with a light to medium body, a creamy but crisp mouthfeel, and a lively body. Finishes average length with a grainy note to match some light to moderate spicy bitterness. A very drinkable, yet average pils. This brewery does some amazing things but this is not one of them. Stick to the ales OBB.

Apr 7, 2009 Can from Captain Cougar. Thanks again Tom! Golden color with a fluffy white head. Aromas of grain and noble hop - a little extra spice for a pils. Near medium body with creamy/frothy carbonation. Good feel. Flavor is a bit biscuit with lots of hop spice - even a bit peppery. Finishes well towards dry. A very good drink, but not so bitter as the standards. Makes a nice change. LIke it a lot.

Apr 6, 2009 can.
Pours a crystal clear pale golden yellow, thin fizzy white head that sticks around a bit. Crisp sharp bready aroma with some spicy hop bite. Flavor shows good balance, with a clean spicy hop bite on the front followed by dry, semi-sweet bready malt. Clean and light on the palate with a crisp dry finish. Solid pilsner.

Apr 5, 2009 I really wish this was hoppier. Good crispness, straw malt flavor and refreshing qualities, but lacks the hops of a top tier example.

Apr 4, 2009 Can. Pours golden yellow with a white head. The aroma is on the light side, hint of malt and hops but not much else. The flavor has sweet toffee like malt and hoppy hints. Easy drinking but very average.

Apr 4, 2009 I am not, have never been, and never will be a fan of pilsner. This one is not overly horrible, and that’s probably only because it is made by Oskar Blues, quite possibly the best brewer in America. This loses points on appearance: bright yellow with a white head, no different than any macrobrew. It also loses points on the all but non-existent aroma. Although it only has 5.3%, there is an odd bite of alcohol in the beginning of the sip. Grassy with a bitter finish. I don’t like pilsners, and this one loses points on aroma and appearance, yet I still give it a 2.9 out of 5.
