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.

Jun 4, 2008 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.

Jun 24, 2007 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!

Jun 18, 2007 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
