COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
On the third night, I handed my sweetie a tall slender Pilsner. Perfectly poured. While holding it up and gazing either at it, or through it at me, she said softly, “you are so fine to me.” It was hard to tell if she meant to be heard. “Ambiguity, thy Name is Woman”, I nearly uttered. Whether she was speaking to me, or to the beer, it was merely semantics. The deal was sealed. I would make it my life”s work to make fine beer.

Hops: Czech Saaz, Hallertau, Hersbrucker, German Spalter

Yeast: Hoyne Proprietary Lager Strain

Malts: Canadian Superior Pilsner, Munich, Vienna, Carapils

Specific Gravity: 1.050

Very good for a pilsener. Finishes nice and grainy. Getting towards a Kolsch even. Pours blond with good head. A little snappy, crispy bitterness with a nice dose of grain at the end. One of Hoyne’s best, at least for the style. On tap at brewery.

Jur (146) - NETHERLANDS - MAR 16, 2013
10oz. Draught at Alibi Room. Gave the North-Americans another change on pilsner. It looks the part, but it is not as crisp as should be. Some sweetish caramelised onion smell and flavour. Slight sourness in the finish. Sweet and sour shouldn’t be in here.  Flat, mediocre at best, stick to German or Dutch bitter pilsners.

On tap. Pours a light gold with fine medium head. Light aromas of cereal and grass. Flavours of grains, light malts, and biscuits. Clean.

TipsyMcStager (1114) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 10, 2012
Pours a light yellow with nice head. Grassy and light. Has an unpleasant plastic aftertaste. Grainy finish. Less satisfying the more it warms up.

Bottle. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is lightly dry and the flavour is yeasty with some dryness. Overall a good beer but nothing out of the ordinary. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sampled on tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is very grainy with a metallic overtone - not so inviting. Flavour brings out loads of grains, thankfully without the metallic notes. Drinks smooth enough but is obviously nothing special. Decent.

I bought this at Parkgate in North Vancouver. Clear light golden colour with a nice head that lasts throughout the glass. This is very refreshing for a summer night, light hops but enough flavour to matter. Excellent beer

reebtogi (3262) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 16, 2012
650ml bottle pours a bright golden color with 2 fingers of white head (vigorous pour) that settles to leave some really nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is grass and light citrus with some cereal grains. Taste is a grassy with light citrus bitterness and a grainy malt sweetness. Light bodied with some decent carbonation. A very well done brew for the style and highly recommended.
