On Draft. Pours a golden colour with a slight haze, Bready malts and some citrus on the nose. I get bready malts and hay on the palate and a fair amount of citrus, perhaps too much for a pilsner.

On tap several times in the last week. Pours with a lightly hazed/keller gold hued body with a fully retentive white head that leaves great lace. Aromas are strongly hoppy, herbal, slightly rustic, light tea notes, medium bready malt character, dry, grassy, hoppy and clean. Flavors are bready, soft pils like malt, clean, herbal hops that finish a bit grassy. Really crisp. Very light apple like finish, low sulfur. Lively bubbles and dry with medium-low body. A really decent Pils.

Taster at brewery. Pours crisp golden, light thin lacing of foam. Sweet Riesling qualities in nose and taste. Clean and a great easy drinker.

Pouts a clear yellow with white head. Aroma is of grass, biscuit malt, some citrus and some pine. Taste is refreshing with grass, pilsner malt and so E citrus. Medium body creamy mouthfeel dry balanced finish. Overall, a pretty good pils.

Clear golden pour thin white head light sticky lacing .... aroma is of light grassy and floral hops and some sweet malt ...... taste is of sweet malts, little grassy and fruity, bready and biscuit malts with a funky and grassy dry finish .... decent stuff

One of my favorites from a not so favorite style. This has a clear light amber color with a lacing white head. the aroma is malty sweet with biscuits, some grass, and a hint of caramel. The flavor has the same and is nicely balanced with the bitterness at the end.

At Ballast Point tasting room (Old Grove). Strong golden color. Perfectly to style, across the board. Great stuff, not much else to say.

On tap at the brewery in SD. Pale yellopw pour with fizzy head. Nose honey and hay. Sweet up front to sharp richness at the end. Rich for a Pils.

Cler yellow with a fizzy white head. Nice lemon and grain aroma and taste with tart citrus notes and mild vanilla. hay,

A decent offering, well worth the money and i’d possibly get it again. Just didn’t knock my socks off. for the style it is very tasty and would be a nice session beer to keep on hand.
