3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20Portland, OR: Nov. 2008: Light yelow color, fizzy carbonation. Very light nose and taste. I don’t know where the unfiltered is supposed to come from. Has a bit cracked grain taste- but it is not really in the style. Still a nice and decent beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light grainy nose, clear pale gold--not what I expected in color. Low head. Big cracked grain component in the middle--almost too much so. Dainty bitter. Thinish. I can see where they are going with this but not like a classic Kellerbier.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught at the Portland pub. Mostly clear yellow with a very faint haziness. Peppery, minty sharp celery sweet crystalline hop character - sugary but not sweet, almost gritty. Snappy lemon citrus and lemongrass is heavy. Snappy saaz hops give it an appropriate dryness. Frothy fresh and delicious, very drinkable stuff.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the Portland Pub. Pours gold, lightly cloudy, with a soft white head. I think I prefer this style of pilsner, the yeastiness added a nice bready body to it that accentuated the hops nicely. Very crisp and refreshing beer, not eggy or thin like a lot of pils you find.

On tap at Deschutes Brewpub in Portland, OR--Poured a hazy burnt sienna-copper body with a medium whitish head. Robust, cracker and biscuit nose. Bready with a grassy hops bite. Clean and refreshing flavor. Great full bodied mouthfeel. Finished with a sweet bitter blend that worked quite well.

Tap @ brewpub - Not having had a lot of experience with this style, I was not sure what to expect. This was however quite drinkable. Light toasted grain aroma, with a bit of bready maltiness, quite clean and crisp. I would drink this again.
