Sampled from a growler on 8/26/06: Pours a clear bright golden with thin, wispy lacing. Aroma of mostly dry, lightly sweet pale malt with good authentic Saaz hoppiness. Starts with a lightly sweet pale malty presence and good, lightly bitter fresh Saaz hops. Smooth, balanced and drinkable.

Growler hand delivered by the brewer. Poured a lightly hazed yellow color. Nice floral notes with a decent malt balance. Also notes of candy and gum. Malty flavor had a mild floral taste to it and a light bitter finish.

A nice pilsner here. A grassy and lemon aroma. A cloudy yellow appearance with a moderate head. The flavor was somewhat sweet with a grassy and saaz hop flavor. Just what you would look for in a pils.
