does not count  May 27, 2008 Great pilsener. Strong finish with lots of hops. I like it alone, good at the end of the day.

May 27, 2008 OK-I really love Pils and this american version makes me proud to be from the US (but of German ancestry). Has a nice proteiny head that laces the glass, good floral hop aroma. Bigger than usual hop bitterness- bridges the gap between continental pils and big hoppy American beers. Easy drinking, good clean flavor, very nicely brewed, I could have a keg of this on tap at all times. Few if any other US breweries can make a pils like this. Gets a solid 4.

May 27, 2008 One of my favorite American pilsners. Sweet but hoppy aroma. Kind of bready. Nice golden color with a white fluffy head. Pretty sweet for a pilsner but a nice bite in the finish. Medium bodied and refreshing. Very good choice for a pils

May 26, 2008 pours a off gold with a cloudy texture.. smells of grass and hops. at first there as a sweet malty taste followed by a decent hop profile which doesn’t overpower. refreshing, liberating.

May 25, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a "macro" clear pale yellow with a small and quickly dissapating white head. Aroma was mostly sweet German lager malts and a decent Sazz hop profile too (which was pleasing). Taste was mostly the sweet lager malt up front but a nice dose of hop flavor and bitterness. It tastes alot like Heineken and other macro lagers but with more crisp and fresh flavors and a stronger hop profile and finish. Mouthfeel is a little sticky but light and refreshing. A good pilsner but not my cup of tea. If Im gonna drink a basic lager thought I would much rather it be this than a dreaded macro.

May 25, 2008 On tap at the brickstore. Pale yellow color. Some Saaz hop aroma. Also some feet in the aroma. I don’t think the lines were clean. I need to try this again from bottle or something.

May 25, 2008 Light, clear, golden pour with thin white head. Nasty aroma of every crummy lager I’ve ever smelled. I guess this just isn’t my style. With all the build up and hype I had heard about this beer, I was really expecting something more. I don’t get what all the fuss is about. The "heaps o’ hops" are definitely hidden...umm; why have hops if you are going to hide them? But I sure get a heap o’ lingering German malt unpleasantness on the back of my tongue. Like licking an ashtray. For all you folks who like this stuff, knock yourselves out. I’ll take a nice a pale ale or IPA any day.

May 22, 2008 Updated: Aug 21, 2008A clear pale golden beer with a small head that doesn’t last. Aroma is that of your standard euopean mainstream lager (bready malty pilsner) with a little more spicy hops on top, but the flavor packs more of a punch: malt up front, followed by spicy noble hops, finishing with hop bitterness that lingers. Good lager!
