Courtesy of JoeKinty. pours with good clarity a super light straw color. slight lemon taste, but not much bittering hops. nothing spectacular, but very easy drinking.

pours clear light gold with thin white head. Aroma is of grassy hops. Flavor is definitely light bodied and subtle. lots of grassy hops, some floral notes. Finish is bitter and builds in intensity as it lingers. not really my kind of pilsener.

In short: A bland pilsner on the floral side of things. Very drinkable but very forgettable
How: Tap at Blind Tiger NYC
The look: Clear yellow body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is moderately hoppy. I love pilsners but I cannot say that a pilsner’s malt backbone is ever wow! And this one is even below average. Bland flavourless cereals mash with no crispness. Not quite enough hops, I found the beer to be slightly unbalanced. Tickling carbonation is a bit too much. Hops bring a floral (dandelions, lemongrass) flavour and not much dryness. Moderately bitter. A below average example of the style. Suddenly a day without Sunshine doesn’t sound so depressing anymore.

bottle shred by joekinty: pours a super clean very light golden straw with a very thin white head. aroma is bright with suttle lemon a little wheat and a good flower hop. aroma is light with a bitter hopiness up front and then a pilsen malt flavour easy to drink.

Bottle. Clear light gold pour with a nice white head. Has a nice spicy, citrusy hop aroma. Crisp dry flavor with a nice bitterness, pretty good for a pilsener.
