Jul 15, 2005 Updated: Oct 3, 2008Really nice.
Cloudy gold with a persistent foamy head. A (and here’s a term only beer afficianados will understand) fresh skunky aroma with a nice scent of hops.
Tastes hoppy with a bit of a zing that is almost citrussy. A very smooth aftertaste.

Jul 14, 2005 This is as pils will taste if it is unfiltered. What a difference. Netherlands is overwhelmingly a pils drinking country, and this is the best pils beer by a country mile. Immediate hop presence in the aroma, then sharp, mouth filling fresh hop flavour. Totally satisfying and the missing link which would appear to lager and ale drinkers alike. Broadened my horizons.

Jul 13, 2005 Pours a cloudy golden color with a thick diminishing white head. Excellent aroma of yeast, fruits and hops. Wow, the flavor is amazing, fruits, hops, yeast, spicy, that’s a pilsner ? The finish is mildly bitter. Medium body, dry mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Wow, this is excellent.

Opaque yellow, barely a veil of lace.
Good hop presence, it smelled rather soapy, maybe a little straw in there too.
The taste and palate reminded me of a lighter version of Duvel, some spicy yeast, and a bitter finish with a piquant of alcohol.
This is a Pils?? You could have fooled me! But I liked it.

Jul 12, 2005 Poured yellow with a medium white head. Somewhat skunky aroma. Lightly hoppy with a touch of coffee in the flavor. Lightly sweet finish.

Jul 12, 2005 Pour is golden yellow with a big nice white head...smell is very barnyard at first with straw and grass but some honey coming out as well...taste is an onslaught of sweetness with a grassy hop bitterness quickly counteracting the sweet...

Hazy, dark yellow with a thin white cover. Sour apple and weak aroma with a small amount of sweet malt and corn. The flavour is sweet malt and corn with some Saaz hops. Really this is the best classic American pilsner that I’ve ever had, with a bit more alcohol. The bitterness lingers a bit as if they do not have the right water or water treatment (too much sulfate?). Light body and medium carbonation. I could probably drink a lot of this stuff, but it’s really doesn’t have that much to it.
