A tribute to the German style of pilsner. A clear pale golden blonde body, almost fruity malts and pointly refined hops. Balanced and very drinkable Pils with great flavor.

On tap at Chanceys. Pours out yellow, nice big head. Nose is citrus, grass, bread dough. Flavours are very sweet, bread, tropical fruits, herbal. Fine balance. Nice easy going beer that could be drunk all day.

Bottle thanks to matt7215. Pours an expected blonde with thick white head. Aroma strong of grass, hay, malt, and ever so slight hops. Flavor similar with the addition of some sweetness and a wheat flavor that I wasn’t expecting. Very refreshing and enjoyable.

Hazy blonde pour with a thin white head. Solid aroma of hay, pilsner malt, noble hops and mild honey. The flavor feels less sharp and fresh than the aroma, but the hay, malt and hops are there. The body is light with a creamy texture and medium carbonation. Very entertaining and well made.

500 ml bottle from HogTownHarry! Nose of floral hops and fresh baked Wonder bread that I smelled as a kid living by a bakery in Sacramento. Hazy gold with a medium glass lacing offwhite head. Flavor is lightly bitter with some yeast and a touch of butter and a hint of background sweetness. Finish lightly bitter.

Thanks to Mat for the bottle, bottled on 4/21/2009. Poured clear, bright golden with a fluffy cap of white head. The aroma picked up soft bready malts with splashes of earth, flowers, and quite a bit of buttery character.. almost smelled sticky. The flavor picked up sweet bready and honey notes at the core with floral and light peppery bitterness surrounding.. got buttery at the end, but it seemed to work. Light-bodied and sticky on the palate with not much more than mild bitterness.. clean and very easy-drinking.

On tap at C’est What? Bright golden pour, with a bright white head. Great aroma of grassy hops, and bready malt. The flavor is full of more outstanding bready, chewy malts, and some more of the grassy hops. A medium to low bitter finish. Man this is crisp, and I could drink this until i fell off my bar stool!! outstanding Pils!

Golden-yellow in colour with a long lasting white head, excellent lacing. The aroma is grassy, herbal, wheaty, some perfume, crisp with some pale malts. The flavour is crisp and very clean with a hoppy bite, grass, herbs and pale malts. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, moderate carbonation. Finishes lightly bitter, lingering and quite clean.

An excellent pilsener, very fresh and very well balanced. One of the more enjoyable pilseners that I have had to date.

Growler from the Grand River Brewing in Cambridge, Ontario.
Opened on July 21,2008.
No date but a very fresh growler.

500 ml, bottled 11/24/08. Clear straw with a thin, bubbly white head. Nose is brown sugar and light lemon. Crisp and milky with buzzy carb. Taste is toffee, orange, clover and dough. Dry finish with hints of tropical fruit. Another winner from Grand River.
