A decent, non-descript textbook example of a pilsner in a goodway. This is really well done, its really simple and really tasty for what it is. Very clean and crisp on the palate, with a fresh bread maltiness, smoothed out by some spicy bitter hop notes in the finish.

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is the best pilsner I have ever had! Pours a beautiful golden opaque amber so it looks like honey. Aroma is hoppy with some maltiness and a hint of lemon. Rich flavor has a nice balance of hops and malt, along with a lemony overtone. Aftertaste is very pleasant and smooth. Satisfying and refreshing, this is another winner from Five Seasons!

On tap at brewpup w/ kleyland. Poured a clear gold with not much head. Aroma was somewhat floral, caramel and spice. Flavor was about the same. Pretty good for the style
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Whiff of sulfur in the nose, pale gold color, creamy sticky head. A little butter in the middel of a light pale malt base. Spicy hop end. Soapy mouth feel. OK for a North American pils, but not so good for the style overall.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brewpub in July 2006: Pours a lightly effervescent clear golden with a nicely-lacing frothy white head. Mild noble hoppy aroma has a touch of dry earthy pale malt. Body starts with a mild grainy maltiness and a hint of sweet caramel toward a thinner, bitter finish. Drinkable, but uninteresting and could have more of a fresher Saaz hoppy character.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draught from keg direct from 5 Seasons. Wonderful pour, lots of healthy creamy crown with excellent retention and lacing. Clear golden yellow appearance. Aroma is floral and herbal with hints of citrus. I picked up some ester and earth tones, as well. Moderately hoppy flavour with a medium bodied palate. Prominent malt backbone balances well in this beer, which I’m usually not a big fan of pilsners. I also detected flavours of wheat, and a sweetness reminiscent of caramel or honey. Crisp and clean finish makes this beer very drinkable. Overall not a bad beer.
