This one is a light golden pour with a citrus aroma. Not bad, but they should dirtch the skunky finish.

On tap.
Pours a clear pale yellow with thin snow-white head. A couple streams of bubbles make their way from the bottom. Aroma shows faint crisp hops and a lightly fruity character that seems more characteristic of a Kolsch than a pilsner. The tart, off-fruity flavors really show up front on first sip, with the hops and light grain never really able to catch up. Medium-light body and mouthfeel with a little less carbonation than I’d like to see in a Pilsner. It really is hard to get this seemingly simple beer style right; and unfortunately, BH doesn’t do it.

On draught at the brewpub in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear golden blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind thin white ring. Aroma of light white bread, grassy hops and a touch of citrus. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation with flavors of light white bread some light citrus zest and a touch of corn. Finish is slightly dry, a tad watery with a mild bitterness at first and then a light crisp aftertaste.
