Crisp clean refreshing pilsner. Slightly more malty than many pilsners -- which is fine with me. Worth a try if you are a pilsner fan, otherwise buckeye has plenty of other great brews to try.

Yellow beer with a foamy white head. Sticky lacing. Hoppy nose, with some notes of earthy malt. The flavors were quite malty in the Hoptoberfest 2005 batch. Still hopped up, but not extremely dry or spicy. Like a Czech pils than a north German style. Quaffable.

16 oz. draft Very quaffable, light, golden beer, plenty of wheat and the nice fungi-pilsner flavor. The one you point your domestic-drinking friends at when they walk in the door at Buckeye and stare confusedly at the taps. It's still a real beer, though, with a decent, fluffy head and a nice open aroma.

Long lasting white head on a deep golden colored body. Great floral hop aroma w/a malty backbone; Very clean and no fruity esters. Hop flavor and maltiness are well balanced with a very pleasant bitter but malty finish. It's not terribly complex, but what lager is? Aftertaste is hop and has moderate carbonation and a medium body. It's missing the diacetyl of a typical Bo.Pils, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've spoken to Garin about this beer and it's the first time he's used distilled water to cut the mineral content of the water and it's contributed a lot of smoothness in the hop profile. He also said that he will not bottle this beer so if you want it, you have to go to Buckeye to taste it.

Nice and hoppy with thicker than expected malts. Very refreshing, but I think it lacked a "crispness" that would have brightened up the overall flavor.
