sensory first impression: No head but a beautiful yellow golden beer. A pilsner, to be sure - pale, clear, and plain, visually. Aroma is smoky. Aroma is deep and rich. Aroma is hints of pork and cabbage. Taste is delicious, rich and hinting of other flavors. I taste bologna. I taste bread. I taste lettuce. I taste toast. It’s wonderfully balanced, a superlative taste but so very simple and unidimensional. Lacing is nice, but head is minimal. Warm with light alcohol. A great simple beer.

It’s feel is enveloping, smooth, and mellow. Its aroma is enticing, but not overwhelming. It’s a wonderful beer, and easily my favorite pilsner. jayhopkins23 (27), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 18, 2008 THIS could very easily be one of the best American Pilsners I’ve ever had. First time was on tap at Map Room in Chicago, loved it. Pours clean with fluffy white head that lasts all the way through. The body and hops truly accentuate each other, and the mouthfeel is perfect for the style. Have one if you get the chance. travita (1925), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2008 Golden in color with a small head. Smell is more hops than a normal pilsner with some malts as well. Taste is clean and crisp with slight hops and finishes dry. durhambeer (1215), Durham, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 16, 2008 Easy to drink, not too heavy. Quite solid overall. Pours nice golden with thin head. Has a nice pleasant floral hop aroma and crisp, slightly bitter finish. Great session beer. Juancho (225), Clearwater Beach, Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 15, 2008 Draught - various places in GA. The aroma was faint but had all the characteristics of a solid pilsener. Pours golden blond, very thin head. Sweet and hoppy. It has a strange malt character that I can’t place. nick76 (2667), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 13, 2008 The aroma is hoppy with corn malt. The appearance is milky white gold with a thin head. The flavor is metallic and sweet with grassy and herbal hops. There malt is corn like. The palate is thin. This beer fails to live up to the hype. It’s actually an average beer.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 11, 2008 Pretty light golden color almost reminds me of a white ale when pouring. Thin white head that leaves almost no lacing. Nice nose of hops and sweet grain. Nice sweet, citrusy taste at first. Good, bubbly body with a deliciously smooth hop finish. Leaves a pleasantly dry sensation. Excellent pilsner
