3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle (650ml). Once again, thanks to my MB main connection Oakbluff. Clear gold, bubbly, large frothy white head, sticky lacing. Dry peppery yeast aroma, light fresh grain with plenty of soft but lush euro hops. Gawd this brewery does these gentle brews well - fresh cereal grain, wheat, floral and herbal hops, all soft, soft, soft, balanced and not bitter or sweet; there’s even a hint of pineapple in there. Chewy body, soft is the key word for this palate, as there’s not much astringency, alcohol or even carbonation to speak of - just smooth, fairly long lingering finish - just really, really good.

650ml bomber Thanks Trev.
Poured a shimering lightly hazed honey gold with a big puffy white cap. Good head retention and wonderful lacing ( lotsa protiens in this drink)
Aromas are a wonderul balance of floral hops and bready pale malts with light mustiness...nice!
Profile: delicious biscuit malts in the front are joined by a perfect balance of herbal hops which do not swamp out the subtle malt tastes...mid palate subtle complexity with some musty-earthy woody tones joining the herbal hopping and chewy pale malts give faint suggestions of biscuits and honey...finish is smooth and mellow with the herbacious hops coming a bit more forward...light bready after taste.
Impression: a well crafted delicate Pils that profiles the malts and has a judicial use of hops..very smooth, mellow and drinkable...Dave If I didn’t know better I’d swear you abstracted Brickman’s Pils recipe.

To me, this did not taste like a Bohemian or Czech Pils, so I was expecting somethign different. But nonetheless, a nice summertime beer that is rapidly becoming my second Half Pints session beer after Little Scrapper

I expected more of a european styled pilsener when I picked this one up. More of a hybrid in that it has the malty spicy character of a brown ale, finishing with crispy hop notes. Enjoyed very much

(650ml bottle) Purchased at the brewery for $4.75. Pours an orangy golden body with a slight foamy head. Nose of mild nail polish and butter beneath a well balanced grassy front. The flavour is holding up much better as it has a crisp, bitter hop tongue and decent malt backing. Very likable.

Gold in colour with moderate carbonation. Malt dominant aroma, but a good amount of grassy and spicy herbal hops are in there too. A bit of sulfur (in a good way), and perhaps a hint of citrus as well. In the mouth it’s more bready malts going forward with some green Hallertau hops. Grassy Saaz notes round things out on the somewhat dry finish. This strong bready malt character seems to be the signature of this brewery, and it’s definitely present here. There’s a good amount of hop character in terms of aroma, flavor, and bitterness, but it seems to struggle a bit to show itself through the specialty malts. A good crowd pleasing beer, but I wish it was a little leaner.
