Bottled, from Spokane, WA. Clear golden, small head. Bready malt and grass greets me. Mid-dry with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Pleasantly relaxed with hay-like hops and balanced bitterness. Ah, the joy of quality pilseners in the summer!

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet malt, perfumy, some fruity hints. Tastes of pilsner malt, some peppery splashes, some wildflower hints, a fruity touch on the finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Poured clear, brighter golden with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma was fresh and delightful with lemon zest and a floral bouquet over bread and honey maltage.. simple, but well executed. The flavor opened with that same lemon zest, rolling into honey sweetness at the core.. lemon candy and light floral bitterness around.. quick, crisp, refreshing finish. Light-bodied with tight carbonation on the palate.. fresh impression and tasty. Just what I want from my pilseners.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Pours a clear yellow color with a nice puffy white head. The nose is malty with a light husk and some sweet malt notes, mild light hops and no alcohol. The flavor is malty, but a little thin with some adjunct notes, beit or not that they’re there, with a crisp bitter tail. Dry, somewhat clean and and a little sweet, this is a classic american lager.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle.
Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing.
Body is clear medium to dark yellow.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, husks), lightly hoppy (flowers), with a light note of soap.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, slightly husky.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Oh well. It is what it is I guess. Drinkable, but grainy and dull. It’s too bad they didn’t go for a more enticing German or Czech style pilsner. Something for your dad or granddad to nostalgically swill I suppose.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Post GTMW burned out after dinner beer in the hotel room, thanks csbosox: Clean golden hue with a small fizzy head. The aroma has notes of herbal and grassy hops, hint of pear and apple esters, biscuity and grainy malts. The taste is crisp noble hops, grainy malts, and some herbal spicy tones upon the finish. The mouth feel is nice and lively, mostly clean and crisp. Very well played for the style, good solid brew.
