Pours a clear golden color with a thick head. There is some nice head retention and streaks that are left along the sides of the glass. The nose is full of light malt and some hint of hops but nothing too potent. The flavor is kind of bland with a watery finish. You can taste a nice bitterness but nothing over the top.

Pours a clear, effervescent gold colour with a decent, frothy white head. It smells far more bitter than other Pilsners I’ve encountered. There is definitely that standard musty saaz hop aroma. The flavour is crisp, grainy and has a cidery flavour with the perfect amount of bitterness. The finish ends a bit metallic though. Because of the bitterness, the finish is quite long

Pours a golden hazy color with a medium off white foamy head. Nose from the pour of citrus and good hop character, the nose progresses with a mild fruitiness. Initial taste of crisp saaz hops that is nice, but progressed into rhiney bitterness. The hops dominate the flavor with only mild sweetiness pealing through. Grassy mid palate to finish with hop character. It is clean and refreshing but surprisingly bitter for its style. God Head retention and spot lacing of the glass. Palate duration is above average. Light body and easy drinking. Overall, not bad.

tap at the brewery..... pours a crystal clear light yellow brown with a fluffy off-white head.... aroma of earthy light grass notes.... flavors of light grass and subdued malt.....don’t have much more to say than that. pilsners aren’t really my thing.

Has a nice gold pour, with a medium head. Got it off tap from the brewery, and was one of my favorites there. Has a nice bitterness and mild spice taste to it.
