Pours a light clear yellow with only a small fizzy head that dissipates almost immediately. Yeasty nose. Nice clean taste with sweet pale malts apparent but leaning to the hoppy side, especially as the taste transitions into the short finish of tangy-tart hops. A decent, clean, fresh tasting pilsner, but not a standout.

12oz. Bottle: Got in trade from fiveacestx; THANKS Cam! Faint aroma of pils malt, corn, and Noble hops. Poured pale yellow in color with no head. Lightly cloudy. Full of small, medium, and large-sized particles throughout. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of pils malt, corn, grain, and a hint of Noble hops. Light body. Slightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Corn, Pils malt, Noble hop finish is slightly sweet, slightly bitter, and slightly dry.

Bottle pours a golden brew with a white top. Scent is sweet malts with a whiff of corn. Taste is balanced beteen the sweet malts and hops. Lemon and bread notes. Thin

Aroma of bread, champagne, and well...pilsner. pours straw with heavy carbonation. Taste is very light. Slight bread and floral shining through. Easy to gulp but nothing special.

The pour is a headless yellow. The aroma is typical pilsner. The flavor is also typical pilsner. The finish is very watery and bland. Nothing to recommend here.

Straw colour. Appley and a bit husky aroma. Light bodied with mild bitterness and mellow continental hop character. Good balancing malts.

Draft @ Cooter Browns. Pale brassy gold. Decent lace, Clean fresh pale malt aroma, grassy hops and slight sulfur. Thin, clean, and easy. On the sweeter side but finishes clean and crisp. A good alternative to macro, good football beer, etc.

not sure I like this style. pours about the ugliest color possible for a beer. ligt piss color; white head. aroma of beer; lemony grassy hops. taste is ok; slightly tart dry tang... one and done.

Bottle - pale yellow with a very thin white head. I immediately detected a smell and taste of champagne. Has a dry finish. Next.

12oz bottle. Thin, hyper filtered yellow air color. Thin, oily head. Some doughy butter in the aroma. Has some peppery hop characteristics, quite mild. Doughy malt tones, but they come off a little macro and dirty. I was really unimpressed after the first few tastes, but it slowly grew on. It is light to medium bodied, and quite drinkable. Still quite boring, slightly amateurish, and in no way World Class.
