Pours gold/straw with a white head. Smells of sweet malt, underattenuated, appley. Tastes sweet and messy with some spicy hints on the finish.

Bottle at LaVelle’s Bistro, Fairbanks AK. Yellow with no activity but a soapy head. Also brought a musty soapy character with a bitter sappy twitch. Wrong texture and wrong balance. Cookie dough aroma.

Draught. Pours clear light yellow with a small white creamy head, diminishing with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, cereal, roasted, meal), light hops (grass), average yeast (sweat) with notes of cooked cabbage and corn. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness. Light bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation and bitter finish.

Bottle. Golden beer with an off-white head. Grass and light malt aroma. Malt and mineral flavor with a light sweetness. Medium bodied. Sweet malt lingers with grass, light spice, and light mineral notes.

Yellow-gold with a thin haze; great head -- white with tightly packed bubbles. Creamy and smooth mouthfeel up front; at times it turned a little thin, though. Some beery notes. Malts were light and grainy. Big hop bitterness in the finish ... mostly herbal in nature. Aftertaste was wet with a flowery bitterness. Not too bad.

(12 oz bottle) Moderately flavorful pilsener, lightly malty, but with moderately bitter hops for a zesty, crisp, spicy beer. The hops becomes dominant in the finish for a nice hoppy bite. Clean, crisp palate, light to medium bodied. Lightly hoppy nose shows some cardboard. Medium yellow color, but fully clear to let the small carbonation bubbles to rise with clear visibility. Whitish head has average retention, gradually fading to a thin film. Overall, a pretty average American pilsner.

Smells a little hoppy and darker than the style indicates (but all silver gulch beers are a little darker). It actually has a faint wheaty taste. An okay for beer for the style, but not the best this brewery has to offer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear light gold body with a very small and thin fizzy white head that vanished completely. The nose is bready with a bit of DMS and corn. Zero perceptable hops. The flavor is adjunct laden with a bit of crusty bread and a light sweetness. Are there any hops in here at all? Mouthfeel is light and fizzy with a bit of doughy stickiness on the finish. Zero crispness. Wow, this was a lot worse than expected. I’d rather just have an MGD.
