On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head but one that lasted. Minimal visible carbonation. Flavor was malt and honey with a surprisingly big bitterness. A decent hop profile. Quite crisp and effervescent. Nose was honey and malt.

Fresh growler from the brewery. Pours a clear golden color with a large frothy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is floral, citrus and grassy hop notes. Light honey and grain notes and faint nutty notes. Taste is bready honey-ish malts with huge grassy hops and some citrus and mint notes as well. Fairly strongly carbonated, medium bodied and slightly sticky. Maybe even a little bit too hoppy.

Taste is grassy and hoppy with biscuit notes, malt, soft honey and light lemon. Some toasted malt as well. Body is crisp and dry with a medium overall feel. Bubbly carbonation.

Bottle from Rob via Kinz at the 8th Richmond Gathering on 06/06/2009. Very clear golden body with a medium frothy white head. Sweet honey, pilsener malt, and noble hop aroma. Sweet floral and grassy hop flavor with some honey and pilsener malt and a firm bitter finish. Medium light body with moderate carbonation.

Growler, courtesy of Rob, thanks dude! Very pale clear yellow, decent head. Aroma is grassy hay. Flavor matches, with a nice pils backbone. Very faint apple presence on the finish. Nice stuff.

Similar to their Czech Pils - aroma of apples and faint lemon. Appearance is clear and golden with a thin white head. Flavor is sweet and balanced with a very lovely spicy yeasty finish. Really lovely and well crafted.
