Hazy amber colour. Soapy, hoppy aroma with subtle fruits (apple, pear, berry). Crisp hoppiness and toasty maltiness hit up against other in fairly even balance. Off-dry finish. The carbonation is a little bit much and it gets in the way at times.

cloudy dark yellow, big creamy white head leaving thick lace dripping in its wake, soft floral aroma, creamy light body, nice crisp hop flavor on a nicely sweet malt base, eventually settles into a sweet esb with a nice log bitter finish, after six 20oz mugs I can say it’s a great session beer

May 13, 2005 On tap at the Drafting Room (Spring House) as part of the “John’s Locker Stock” series. Poured a medium and lightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas and tastes of grass, flowers and light citrus. First sip led to a nice bitter bite that subsided as the more I drank leading into a malt/hop balance. Decent tasting pilsners (although pilsners are not one of my favorite styles).

May 8, 2005 Draught @ Bitter Creek Alehouse, Boise, ID
Pale gold/yellow color with a bright white head and very light lacing. Nose of citrusy light hops & some trademark pacman qualities. The flavor is balanced with some light malts & a spruce/spicey finish. Decent but not on par with their other pilseners.
