3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2008 in Victoria, September 7. Pours a clear, deep golden body with a lasting white frothy head. Very strong and bready malt. Mild bitterness. Good. 7/3/6/3/13
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled sample via paco. Light gold in colour with moderate yet prickly carbonation. Aromas of green grassy and hay like hops, along with a mild grainy note. More Saaz and some green German hop notes upfront in the mouth, along with more grainy malts. Dries out with a nice dry biscuit finsih. Solid bitterness. The hops come through a touch too vegetal, and the malts a touch too grainy, but overall this is a pretty damn good North American take on the Bohemian pilsner style.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Mild buttery note to the grassy, lightly spicy and grainy aroma. Clear, deep, golden body is topped by a dense, fine bubbled, long lasting white head. Biscuity malts with a touch of butter and a crisp, assertive bitterness. Medium body with moderate carbonation. 2L PET bottle purchased at the brewpub.
