On tap at the Virginia Beach location. Clear gold with a fluffy white head. Dry floral grainy nose, a bit of what I think is lime. Flavor is more of the same, rather light overall, but not bad.

Bottled. Bright gold body with a frothy white head. The aroma was obvious bread and carrots. The taste was slightly mild with some spice. There was also a woody smooth finish. Decent.

Bottle. A little hops, and little yeast to the aroma. Nice golden color with a slight white head. Some hops bitterness, and no off flavors. Was hoping for a little more crispness, or zing to the brew. A little watery, or muddled taste. Works OK as a summer drinking beer.

Draft from Gordon Biersch Store in Virginia Beach, VA. Lager had been made fresh, sent to freezer, then to tap. Beautiful head and golden yellow/brown body. Taste had a wonderful, fruity body and bite with no strong linger or bitterness. Lacing and clean, white head was outstanding. This was the best lager I have ever tasted. Maybe I was lucky and the brew was fresh but it was outstanding just the same. I have never tasted from bottle but my entry was tasted from a chilled lager glass. I am surprised it hasn’t been rated higher. The best brewery/pub or local lager at restaurant I have ever tried.

Draft at WCBF 2008. Light grassy hop aroma. Gold color with white head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Flavor is pale malt dominated by grassy hop. A very good pilsner (so why is it classed as premium lager?).

On tap at the SF brewpub. It’s ok, but not much too to it--very safe, straightforward pils.
