Apr 30, 2008 It’s really too bad they don’t make this one anymore. this was one of my first beers from Deschutes back in 2002. A very light golden colored pils, with a fresh floral nose and was very clean upon the 1st sip, light fruitiness, with some toasted malts and a spicy saaz hop finish.

Dec 28, 2005 Pours a golden yellow with a white head. Aromas of bread/malts/hops. Crisp hop flavor with hints of fruit/malt.

Aug 30, 2005 A very nice light golden pils with great clarity and a fizzy white head. Very crisp and refreshing the whole way though with spicy hops and a long dry finish.

Jun 2, 2005 Maybe pilsners aren’t for me. Maybe pilsners are designed to be average, and that’s why I can’t get behind them. Maybe this beer had so little to distinguish it from anything else that I can’t even truthfully tell you any reason to buy this beer, other than even though it’s not that good, it’s not that bad either.

Jan 13, 2004 Pale color and nicely carbonated, looks make my mouth water. No yeast on the nose to speak of, excellent--toasted, light grains and springtime, flowery herbs. Taste is very mildly hopped, touch of sweetness. Finish is crystal clear. Nice beer, could be a touch more dry and semi-sweet.

Dec 25, 2003 This is my number 2 Pilsener of all time. Just ahead of New Belgium Blue Paddle and just below Victory Prima Pils.

Clear, exceptionally pale straw with plenty of carbonation bubbles. Puffy, bright white head starts thick and holds extremely well and leaves lots of soapy lace. The aroma is dominated by herbal, noble hops that lend a clean sharpness over a solid base of toasted, crackery malt. Some freshly mown hay and faint citrus (lemon) as well. Starts out well balanced, with a good amount of herbal, leafy hop flavor over a foundation of lightly toasted, grainy malt. Clean and crisp, with a dry firmness of body. Turns midway towards the hops, which take over and lead into the dry and lengthy finish. Yeast pour towards the end (always good to see a bottle-conditioned pils) thickens it up a bit, but doesn’t blur the crispness and cleanliness. Overall, a well done German-style pils that doesn’t hold back on the hop flavor. More hop bitterness would be welcome, but it’s still a tasty beer as is. My thanks to Gromit for the bottle.
