aetheon (55), Beer Dungeon, Minnesota, USA Jan 30, 2009 hazy light golden yellow, white head and light lacing. nice aroma with the hops coming thru, Flavors are mostly moderatly strong hops and a fairly clean finish. medium bodied with notes of pine, grapefruit and lime. Overall a decent pils with a little extra bite. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Jan 29, 2009 (11/13/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia. Slightly hazy golden color with a quickly-diminishing medium white head. Aroma of some grassy hops and lots of graininess. Sweetish flavor with some malt, graininess and a bitter finish with rather grassy hops. Medium-bodied. Not awful but nothing great. Jsawyer (282), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 27, 2009 Bottle. Poured pale gold with a flocculent white head that looked like ice cream in a rootbeer float. Aroma was citirc, soapy, honey, pilsner malt-cereal. Flavor was sweet cereal, honey, pilsner malt, and resinous soapy bitterness that lasted on the tongue. Palate was light and had a nice carbonated bite that finished resinous. Certainly hoppier than most pilsners however the cereal and malt profile was unfortunately reminiscent of a macro. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Jan 25, 2009 12oz. right from the bottle. Flavor is hops, citrus, and something like corn. Not a big fan of this one. Watery and not balanced flavors. satan165 (541), River Grove, Illinois, USA Jan 24, 2009 Updated: Feb 2, 2009aroma of lightened cereal grain and a citric note that is refreshing even before tasting. appearance is standard for the style: sunshine yellow. flavor is of an excellent dose of almost sweet hops and lemonly lager yeast. palate is not dry, the lemony prescence hangs around for some time. keeps the refreshing experience intact with some of the hop complexities rarely seen in the style. ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jan 23, 2009 Appearance: Clear, yellow body topped by a foamy, white head that supplied clear-cut rings of lace on our way to the bottom.
Smell: Aroma smelling of grainy pils malt, moist discarded lemon rinds, and fragrant, spicy hops.
Taste: Grainy tasting pilsner malts with a light honeyish sweetness. Hint of lemon. Richly floral and spicy noble hops with an ingratiating medium amount bitterness. Finishes dry and quite crisp.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: Keenly drinkable. One of the better American-corn pilsners around. scoth (266), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Jan 21, 2009 Pours clear golden, with a puffy white, 2.5 finger head, good lasting lacing. Smells of apple, caramel, citrus and some light floral notes. Light, crisp body, just a little dry. Has a strong grapefruit flavor, with some caramel and apple. Medium bitter grapefruit aftertaste that lasts for some time. skweek (13), College Park, Maryland, USA Jan 18, 2009 Pours a light gold with a white head. Aroma of hops and doughy malt. Mouthfeel is very dry, and the taste is very crisp and hoppy. A very good pils.
