Commercial Description:
It is light in color, body, and alcohol. We use a very special fermentation routine to give this beer an exceptionally smooth flavor, and just the right amount of noble hops for a balanced yet distinctive hop character.

Pours light golden with a lightly receding white head. Notes of toasted malt, cookie, and herbal hop. Medium bodied, light resinous with lively carbonation.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a thick but short lived white head, over a clear pale yellow (SRM 3) body.....nose of light hop spice, bit of bread, hint of corn....taste initially is light sweet malts, balanced by light hop bitterness, finishing with a metallic off flavor....mouth feel is light and watery. This does not have the hop spice, finishing hop flavor, including bitterness, nor the mouth feel that would score it higher. It has the semblance of the right characteristics, but is light across the board.

Medium yellow in color with a soapy white head coating the sides of the glass. It smells hoppy and slightly malty. Mouthfeel is light and easy but dangerously close to watery, taste is a little earthy and not much else. This would be decent for shotgunning outside the ballgame, not that I do that sort of thing.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a honey colored notch over pale yellow. Grassy, straw floral aroma. Taste is more of the same with some light honey sweetness. Decent pils

Bomber poured a clear yellow with a small lingering white head. Aromas of straw, spicy hops and a hint of citrus. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw and spicy hops with a crisp dry moderatly bitter finish.

This has the possibility to be a decent pilsner, if it works out some of its imbalances. Husky grainy malt texture, sweet, and lacking in hop bitterness, some lemony acidity and light carbonation.

Draft @ the brewery. Poured in yellow gold with a small one fingered off-white head. The aroma was earthy malts, cereal, and grains, no real hop notes. The flavor was citrus (lemon) and some honey. As others have said I picked up a floral bouquet. Clean crisp finish with a light mouth feel. I wanted more hops. Passable.

Draft at the brewpub on 3/24/2008. Clear gold with a solid white head and some good lace, a nice looking Pils. Aroma is grainy and husky, with some spicy hop notes coming through. Light/medium body, assertively carbonated, and a pleasantly dry palate. The malty sweetness dominates the flavor, with some soft bitterness coming in quite late. Not quite enough of a hop bite.
