drewbeerme (1840), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 15, 2008 on tap. pours clear staw color with white head. nose of spicey and leathery hops. very clean flavor profile with spicy hops cutting through. this is one solid refreshing pils that would be a great gateway beer for any BMC fan.
chrisafari (96), Orange, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 On Tap at the Father’s Office, Culver City. Aroma: fresh cut grass and fresh earthy hops. Pours clear golden with small white head, good head retention for a pils. Flavor: begins mellow and untraceable then becomes nicely spicy and hoppy. Finishes with a surprising roasted malt character in the throat. medium-light to light body. Very drinkable! I’ll admit it, I’m biased to Ales. But, this Pilsener is a revelation! A very enjoyable and hoppy Lager!! Nice for the warmer spring and summer months. probstk (695), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Oct 8, 2008 12 fl. oz. bottle from BOTW (Rochester), served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. SE04/08.
App.: Golden, clear, decent white head.
Aroma: Fruity, biscuits, bread crust, slightly soapy, some green and pepper hops, an odd aroma that I can’t describe and don’t like...
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly soft carbonation, smooth.
Flav.: Lightly fruity, much more hops – grassy, peppery, and still soapy, may be some light tropical fruit esters; dry with fair bitterness.
Nicht prima, aber gut. Monty1163 (1), , Ohio, USA does not count Oct 3, 2008 Aroma - Pleasant aroma balanced hop & malt and something else...
Appearance - Traditional golden fizzy
Flavor - Complex and Yum strong spicy hop presence.
Palate - the good stays with you all the way to the back of the tongue.
OI - Great beer will definitely buy again. I am usually partial to ales but never scoff at a great beer no matter the style. This beer has a nice balance on noticeable hops that are missing in many pils
daknole (852), Plantation, Florida, USA Oct 1, 2008 Cloudy golden pour with a nice head. Aroma is not your typical pils by any means. You can tell it has some pils qualities but the delicious hops in the nose set this one apart from most. Flavor is yeasty and hoppy...but not bitter or resiny. This is a good beer. I am very glad I finally got to try it. jrmac (137), USA Sep 30, 2008 Decent, but for me I was expecting more. Taste and smells like hops. Just a touch of barely existent malt. Not a repeater for me.
