3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Single bottle purchased from Brewters Brew Pub on 11th ave SW in Calgary, AB on 02/24/2012. Colour: Medium yellow with low white head. Nose: Immediate mix of marshmellow and toffee, then settles into fresh dough without losing the background of sweetness. Taste: Medium sweet, medium-light bitter, light sour. Creamy and chewy. Caramel comes out with some munchable slightly roasted grains middle to late. Slightly too sweet for its type.

Pint on tap at Oliver Square location in Edmonton. Poured a pale golden color with small white head and some lacing. Aroma is cereal grains and some hops. Taste is lightly sweet malts and a dry hoppy finish. Not one of my favorites from Brewsters.

Czech pilsner poured a clear and pale golden color with a two finger frothy white head. Retention was long and plenty of sticky lacing was left on the glass.
The aroma of is of malt and yeast with some grassy notes.
The taste is predominantly of the floral Saaz hops and some bready malt. There is a little lemon in there as well. Although not complex the basics have been done well.
The body is medium with medium to high carbonation.
This would be an excellent beer for summer thirst.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, thanks to Cole. Pours clear yellow/gold, thin white head, lacing is spotty to good. Nose is earthy hops, nice spice notes and restrained florals; very light sweet corn/butter notes, but if I wasn’t so sensitive/picky about it, I doubt I’d notice. Flavour is sweet, with apples and grain, very spicy and pleasant, manages to be suitably spicy without being bitter in any sort of meaningful way. Lightly sour in the finish - not sure if I like the finish, although I really quite like the beer.
