If you can’t get Fred’s, this will do...I guess. I’d rather walk across the street to the Northern and get a Pabst.

On tap @ Great Northern. Cloudy yellow, sudsy white crown. Aroma is equally sweaty and grainy. Flavour is nicer, bready pale malt, light hop finish. Not sure if this is an intentional unfiltered pils, but either way, it’s pretty simplistic and not the brewery’s best offering.

Sampled at the brewery. Clear yellow, foamy white head. Aroma of grain and light citrus. Taste is sweet grain and some husky bitterness. Light body, crisp carbonation.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Light clear bubbly golden color. Rich honey, biscuity malt on the nose. Medium bodied, with a slightly hoppy profile followed by a nice biscuity malt, but also a little bit of a metallic tinge. Thanks bob for bringing me a beer from home

On draught at the brewpub in Whitefish, Montana. Pours a light clear golden blonde brew with a fast dissipating white head. Lots of carbonation bubbles in glass. Aroma is very faint of light grain malt, green vegetables and grassy hops. Taste is well carbonated, semi-smooth with some corn malt and grassy flavors. Finish is light, spritzy, with a dry hop aftertaste.

Definitely a lager nose. Cloudy yellow and has probably spent too much time in the sun. Stale corn body.

Draft 6 oz’er at the taproom. Very light yellow with a nice standing pilsy head. Kind of musty with a subtle saazy-ness that lingers in the background. It has a light starchy base, but not overly so. This is a decent interpretation in the Bohemian vein. (#2862, 5/12/2007)

UPDATED: AUG 1, 2011 Tap @ Dog & Grog Virginia City. Aroma of honey & light malt w faint hops. Flavor of fresh grain/malt, moderately sweet w honey flavor and light hop flavor & bitterness. OK but not great. Would prefer something more crisp with a bit of a bite. Update 7/31/11: tap @ brewery, unbalanced toward malt and sweetness but it’s freshness was able to lure me back to it many times. be nice to get fresh pils in Cd’A.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2006 Pours a golden yellow color. Aromas of grass, cheerios, and some hops. Flavor is typical pilsner, not a lot of hops, a nice smooth taste.
