3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 4, 2009 On tap at the Heritage Brew Festival 2008. Pours a pale yellow with a decent small, but lingering white head. A nice crisp pils with a slight malty sweet hoppy taste. Great session lager. One of the best pils in the domestic market.

Pour is a golden with a nice whie head. Aroma is a nice crips pils malt with a decent amount of clean hops. Flavor is in the decnt category with a nice biscuit and grain. Hops do show up which is where many pils fall short. A pretty decent offering.

This was their best beer by far. It had a nice hop aroma and bitterness. The malting was light, but not overly light like BMC-type pilsners. It was overall just a decent beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
tap at Augusta bottoms beerfest-Pours light yellow with a small soapy white head. nose is very grassy, kind of like the trampled grass that we are standing on during this beerfest (the fest was in 2 tents out in the middle of the Missouri River valley). Nice flavor profile here-nice grassy/spicy hops with a malt structure that is definately not like most of the ilk-not soggy or boring. very tasty, classic and true to style. Nice body with medium carbonation. doesnt feel flimsy at all. very dry and spicy hoppy finish. I totally dig this beer from this new brewery! I actually voted this beer best in show due to its solidness and how true to style it is.

Sampled at Augusta Bottoms Beer Festival 2006. Pours clear yellow with light carbonation and small white head. Aroma was quite grassy and husky with a hint of hops. Light / medium body with some sharp carbonation that was great for the style. The taste had the husky graininess that works well with pilsners and a big spicy hop finish. On one hand it is nothing earthshattering, but it is a very well done solid pilsner that doesn’t have the negative characteristics that mar so many others. My first beer from this new brewery & I look forward to many more.
