Mar 31, 2007 Tap at Bobbique - perfetly clear golden, with a gigantic, foamy, well-retained head - grassy, herbal aroma, with notes of lemon zest, light peppery/spiciness - mild honey sweetness and a bit of lemon at first, but no apparent pilsner malt qualities - actually, not much malt presence at all, leaving the beer a little thin-flavored in the middle - a slightly higher hop profile than your average pils (no suprise from these guys) swells up near the end, along with some light grassy character, leaving the finish dry and crisp - overall, mildly sweet/fruity, ending with dry hoppiness, lacking the character and complexity of some of the better examples of the style - quite drinkable, though.

Mar 31, 2007 Tap at the South 4th Bar: Pours a slightly hazy golden with a thin white head. The aroma is very pleasant. Very lively, bready, fruity (subtle lemon notes), grassy hops. This a very creamy, and hoppy Pilsener. Starts with some straw notes, then a solid hop flavor is evident which gives off a nice fruityness of light lemon suggestions. The malt is subtle, but it’s presence is a perfect balance. Gives it a slightly doughy background. The finish is dry, slightly flowery and bitter. An extremely well crafted and quaffable Pilsener.

Mar 15, 2007 Draught at Waterfront Ale House (a few weeks ago). Slightly hazy gold with a frothy head, leaving spotty lacing. Aroma of grassy to lemony hops, with like a ’polleny’ dandelion scent. Honeyed grain flavor, lemony hops and a trace of apple/pear fruitiness. Medium bodied and mostly smooth. Mild carbonation. Pretty good pilsner from guys who only brew ale.

Mar 13, 2007 Tap at Boston EBF 2007 (new offering from the brewery). Slightly cloudy yellow body topped by a large and long lasting white head leaving good lacing. Very crisp beer that is more intense than the average pilsner. Lots of hay, a bit citrusy, generously hopped with a very nice dry bitterness of medium intensity (officially 47IBU). Somewhere between a hefeweizen and a typical pilsner. Very nice. Lucky kids, in my family I it’s Poppa’s Molson Dry.
