| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 17, 2004 Deeply hazy yellow hue. Grassy, grapefruity, bready aroma…a little odd with that grapefruit in there. Accent on the palate is towards grapefruit, with a slightly toasted note as well. Too much fruitiness from top-fermentation and it doesn’t feel smooth enough either. A lager yeast would be recommended for next time (note: the bottle I had said it was Pacman yeast...I can’t say I tasted this but there were too many signs of top-fermentation and lack of lagering to ignore). jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2004 Intresting hoppy aroma that I think must be the Sterling hops which are new to me. Slightly hazy pale yellow with a nice white head. Not bad, but not doing much for me. An excellent pilsener that failed to catch me in a pilsener frame of mind. radiomgb (2070), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 11, 2004 Light amber in colour. Aroma was of citrus hops, lemon, floral, with a slight sweetness. Flavour was hoppy, with citrus(lemons and oranges). Medium body and slightly dry. Finishes with a medium bitterness with lots of citrus. Lingering. Very nice anniversary beer.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 5, 2004 I have to say, if all pilsners were like this, I’d probably drink more of them. Beautiful clear golden color and lovely white lasting head. Aroma of hops and malt-very floral and quite refined for an ale producer. Bitterness is well balanced and sharp-right in line for a pils. I still like the Imperial Pils better, but this was a very nice beer. beerhugger (541), Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 2, 2004 Cheers to radiomgb for sharing this one in our anniversary tasting series. The aroma seemed a little off to me - in an unidentifiable way. There was some citrus and some malts which carried through into the crisp taste. The mouthfeel was kinda syrupy sweet and bitter all at the same time. It’s like a toned-down version of their Imperial Pilsener. Long bitter and refreshing finish. Nice.
