On tap at Volo. Golden yellow, small white head. Pleasant aroma - some nice subtle hops, some sweetness, some fruity notes as well. Taste -is very good - really refreshing light malt with just a perfect bite of hops. Very refreshing, light to medium bodied, perfectly carbonated. I cannot describe the subtle intricacies of this beer or style but I can tell you, as someone who likes his strong hoppy in your face beers, this one blew me away in its simplicity- it is perfectly crafted, very drinkable, very refreshing, and very falvourful. It will please hardcore geeks and casual drinkers alike. In fact, on Volo’s Patio this past weekend, I had a party of 8 drinking several pints of it each based on my recommendation (they came in looking for Blue Light and Stella). Another winner Grand River, easily the best and most exciting brewery in the Province right now.

Sep 4, 2008 This Pils poured a clear light yellow colour with a big bright white head. To the nose there is scents of corn, yeast and grain. First taste was smooth and filled with corn flavour. The finish was slightly hoppy and a little sweet. Kind of generic but pretty good.

Sep 1, 2008 from reading some other ratings of this maybe i had a bad pint??? i could barely finish it. yellow hue, decent foam. nose is bready some grass and a weird sweet fruit. flavor is grainy but has that odd sweetness that just seems to over power the rest

Sep 1, 2008 German style pils. Flavor of cereals, and grains, with golden malt, good hops, and a bit of fruit. Has a touch of citrus as well. Well balanced, light, smooth, refreshing. Well done.

Aug 31, 2008 (Growler) Thanks to Steve for sharing at the Brasseur du Temps pre-party. Pours a thin, lasting white head with a clear, non-carbonated golden body. Nose of biscuit and graham crackers. Mildly buttery, thin but fairly clean. 6/3/7/3/13

Aug 30, 2008 Tap at ?C’est What? - a creditiable tribute to the german style of Pilsner (hence ’Pils’) - my notes say "German as f-ck, bready, almost fruity malts, pointy refined hops, lip-smacking texture and flavor." There are beers that take you ’home’ to a faraway place and this is one of them! Thank you GR for another flourish of your effortless brewing panáche. Beer with soul!
