I’m not real familiar with the style, although I’ve had some other examples. It had moderate but not big malt taste as I would have expected. Hops were grassy and went down well. Head on this one was pretty good. Another one from Bent River that I recommend.

Nov 6, 2004 <i>Darft, at Bent River.</i> Pours a nice golden pils color with a good lacy head. A very well turned pilsener malt character, slightly chewy, maybe even a touch of Vienna malt. Taste is very much like a fresh DAB, well-replicated Dortmund hard water component. Absolutely right on style with no distractions.

Sep 6, 2004 On tap at the brewpub. Too light in color, although it is a deep golden color. Odd head with speckled bubbles. The lager yeast they use frames the malt taste of this well. In the middle of the palate is a metal and almost salami-like (?) flavor. Real good finishing hops.
