Bottle sample at a tasting at our place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Cloudy golden with white head. Smelly peach, a little cardboard and perfumed sweetness. Bitter and rather watery taste. Medium-to-light body, mild fizz, bitter finish.

330mL bottle, pours a clear golden yellow with a small off-white head. Very pungent nose of corn, grassy hops and biscuity malts. Flavour is very light with not much character -- light notes of corn, medium bitter grassy hops, and some bready malt backing. Very bland and boring. Surprising that Armsnd would put his brand behind something like this. Not very interesting at all.

Bottle @ home picked up at Mile High Denver. My last go around with this beer, I was fairly disappointed, but I thought I’d give it another shot. Pours a somewhat murky yellow orange appearance with a cream colored head. Oxidized, papery, chewy malty, slightly citrusy aroma. Slightly tangy, cardboard, toasty malty, light caramel, biscuity yeasty flavor. Tastes older than hell even though I purchased this as soon as it arrived in Denver.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Pours yellow with a nice head, aroma of fruits and corn, flavor is bitter and dry with some herbs and lemon, light bodied

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Clear golden with a white head. Slightly floral aroma with a bit of bready malt. Flavor has some sweetish malt, slightly bready, and decent hoppy bitterness, a bit floral. Rather light-bodied. Pretty refreshing.

Bottle: Medium to bigger sized vast creamy white head that changes slowly into a sticky fluffy white head/lacing on top of a cloudy yellow colored beer. Looks a bit like a duvel with a more creamy head. Aromas of grains, hops, malts, light floral tones, light citrus, flowers, herbs and citrus. Flavours of malts, hops, floral, bitters, some caramel, herbs, citrus, crisp. Balanced! Damn this is some tasty stuff! Aftertaste is bitter, floral, fruity and hoppy. Crisp! Low carbo, soft mouthfeel, good medium body and a creamy texture. Not only do they create some of the best Geuzes, this is a great Pilsener! To be honest, I didn’t expect this at all! Chapeau!

Bottle like the picture. Light yellow orange and very hazy body under a small white head that dissolves in a couple of minutes and classic pilsner lacing. Aroma of fresh water and wheat and notes of hops - somewhat better than commercial pilsner. Taste is mildly salty and more mildly bitter with a slight sourness. Palate is full and with a sticky residue. Overall, a very decent pilsner but not quite worth the $6 ($2/oz) I paid.

Overall this was as average as i thought. Tastes boring and oxidized with a bit of sweetness in there and some cardboard.

Rough and cardboardy, odd bitterness, lame, no good rich malt flavors that there Gould be

Bottle. Unfiltered blonde pour with a soapy white head. Aroma is light malty with hoppy undertones. Flavor is light bitter, heavy pilsener like. Nice beer, decent lager.
