Tap @ HUB... Poured gold with a thick white head. This lager was packed with a great mouthful that actually was satisfying to drink. Lots of flavors of grains and malt which complimented the dry hop finish nicely. Simplistic and enjoyable.

Jul 28, 2008 sampler @ brewery - straw gold with thin white head; crisp and grainy aromas; nice level of hops added; smooth and drinkable, but a little on the bland side; a decent pilsner overall

does not count  Jun 17, 2008 I can’t get enough of this one. HUB does a great job and the use of authentic Saaz make this a fine beer to taste.
Truly a fine pilsner as recognized by the Silver Medal winner at world beer cup 2008

Jun 7, 2008 Updated: Jun 9, 2008Draft at the brewery. Clear yellow with a white head. Fruity hop nose of melon and lemon citrus. Wet on the palate, medium bodied, some light coarseness in the back, and some plastic grain twang in there as well. Okay but nothing like true Czech pils.

does not count May 7, 2008 This beer is the closest I’ve found to an American brewery brewing a true czech style pilsner. They use true saaz hops, pilsner malts and yeast. The nose has a strong saaz aroma similar to Bernard but with a cleaner smell. The lacing is almost more distinct than Budvar and the taste is crisp and flavorful with a strong hop character though not overpowering the malts so a balance still exists.
