pretty decent for the pils i've had. probably the best offering from goose island i've tasted so far. relatively drinkable, i suspect this tastes better in draft form.

This started off with very strong hops, but after a few sips I couldn't taste it anymore. Otherwise smooth.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - JUL 11, 2003
Rich gold. Drippy hop nose. Long pale malts underpin a heavy wet grass blast of saaz. Well-balanced, with slight toastiness at the back.

joeycapps (1468) - Waterdown, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 3, 2003
Clear yellow-gold w/ small white head. Clean malt & hops on the nose. A little thin on the palate. Crisp, biscuity sweet malt flavour w/ a nice saaz hoppiness.

argo0 (10384) - Washington DC, USA - JUL 2, 2003
(draft): Apple juice body with small white head. Aroma is sweet, apple, lightly hopped (faintly grassy). Taste is moderately sweet up top, turns mildly bitter (grassy). Medium body.

hopscotch (8215) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JUL 2, 2003
RBSG2003 Crystal clear yellow lager. Small, white creamy head. The aroma is yeasty, floral and lightly malty. The flavor is very well-balanced. A bit on the THIN side. Light malt. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.

beermatrix (1497) - Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA - JUL 1, 2003
Color is a clear gold with a finger high white head of foam that faded to a reserved skim and spotty minimal lace. Smell is grassy and some floral hops and light sweetness. Taste is more of the same with a favorable little crispness, good amount of sweet malts and a toned down floral hop with a fine even finish that doesn't really linger or hold, not bad. Pretty light body, getting close to medium, nothing fancy for a pilnser. Would make for a good session beer as for its easy consumption.

I really enjoyed this Pils. It had just the right amount of hoppiness and a good malt taste.
