Pours a very clear, still golden with a thin, fizzy and short-lived white head. Has a nice, lightly sweet crystal maltiness and good Saaz hoppy presence with a lager yeasty profile in the aroma. Body is clean and flavorful with pleasant maltiness for a pilsner and some biting carbonation before a crisp, bittersweet finish. Nice authenticity and good drinkability, a decent brew.

12 oz bottle from the Woodmans on Gammon Road, Madison WI (Oct 2005). Pours a clear darkish gold with a massive, relatively stable soft white head, lots of fizzing...soft malty nose has a touch of caramel, very little in the way of pils hoppiness, just a hint of rather stale grass...a slight improvement in the flavor, light tingly-tart hops help out the light maltiness and rather soft, low carbonation....some nice spiciness near the finish, but too watery and dull overall. Mixed bag.

Pours a clear golden body with heavy beading and a short fizzy head. The faint aroma has some sweet malt and a very light grassiness. Slightly oily plate. Not enough hops to be labeled a Pilsener, in my opinion. Tastes of pale malt and way mild hopping. The finish is crisp and has just a little grassy bitterness.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=7359><u>Three Cellars, Franklin, WI</u></a><font size=-1><br />

Appears to be contract brewed with Point Brewery in Stevens Point, WI. Clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of light honey which is quite unassuming. Medium body. Very mild malt and straw flavors. Finishes dry with a mild bitterness. Lacks malt flavors and noble hops aroma and flavor for a pilsner. A very basic american standard.
