I tried this beer on September 5, 2009 after purchasing a 6 pack from one of the local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent medium gold colour with a thin white head that quickly disappeared to a ring. The aroma was grass, musk, and hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation. The flavour was a nice balance of hops and malt, with a yeasty note. Very good. NosirIwont (1168), Aalborg Vestby, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. 10 days past ‘best before’. Pours a hazy light yellow with a white head. Good lacing. Sweetish, clean, crisp hop aroma with a sharp citrus/lemon note in the background. Flavour is hoppy and bitter, and has the same citrus/lemon note as the aroma. Lingering hop bitterness with grassy notes in the finish. Overall quite alright, but the citrus/lemon note is a bit like the one found in German ‘biermischgetränke’, which is not really my thing, so lower score for that. 29-10-09.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Heavy straw, grain and dried hops. Taste is nice, refreshing grain and hop mix, resinous. Great balance in this almost APA pilsener. Alex420 (38), Rome, Italy

Pours a white persistent creamy head, very nicely carbonated with very small boubbles surfacing extreemely slowly.
Gold in color with a green shine just like traditional czech pilsners.
Floreal herbal aromas with a slight subtle sulfur note. Overwhelming hops for a pils stile, very grassy like at the start with a long resinous finish. Thin body, but still not too thin, carbonation plays a role in this beer.
Well brewed and poured with a nice pils stile fat head.
Great Beer!!! Cavie (1369), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Welp, looks like I’m against the grain yet again. Hazed lemon-drop pour. Smell has some grainy pilsner notes. Light scents. Some soured elements as well. Upfront bitter. Hops fill out the middle with a rough finish. Dry to the bone. Rough finish.

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/20 | Oct 23, 2009 Bottle from the World Market in Arlington. Smells like old garbage. Really dry, but I can’t really taste much. Aftertaste is bitter and much better than the actual taste. smith4498 (865), Miami, Florida, USA
