| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2005 12 oz. bottle courtesy of Eyedrinkale - thanks Mike! Pours clear light yellow with a small white head that leaves attractive lace. Potent aroma of citrus, wheaty-malts and lots of floral hops. Flavor is very different for my experience of a Pils style - but very good. Dominated by the hops, giving a crisp lemon and floral tang, along with sweet notes of light fruits and bread and a lingering citrus finish. Light body and assertive carbonation that devolves quickly into a smooth foaminess. This is a nice beer and quite enjoyable. Way off the scale for me as far as Pilsners are concerned. iam (369), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 3, 2005 On tap at the brewery. Pours a light clear yellow with a small lacing white head. Aroma is light grass and grain. Flavor is grain, dry with some hops. A decent pilsner, but a style that doesn’t impress me too much. fluids (364), USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 16, 2005 12 oz bottle pours beautiful transparent golden with constant bubbles rising to the top. A nice 1 inch white foam head graces the top. Aroma is a nice mix of yeast, lemon, and Saaz hops. Flavor is bread, lemon, and some floral hops. Crisp clean and light on the palate. This is a very nice pilsener. Close to victory’s prima but not quite. Why is this style so underrated? This one is very nice..
