UPDATED: JUN 28, 2011 Appearance is translucent gold with a bubbly white head. Body is medium with medium-high carbonation.

Aroma is of leafy and slightly lemony noble hops. Pale malt in the background.

Flavor is full of vinous, peppery noble hop bitterness up front, with some buiscuty pale malt sweetness joining in the finish but not quite balancing it out. Finishes fairly dry, with both buiscuty malts and peppery hops lingering. The hops in this are very peppery.

Totally overrated very bitter brew the balance, harmony and flavor is missing. Typical mass beer, not light and sweet.

Grass nose. Clear golden, medium white head. Grassy hay flavor with a parsley finish. About as average as a beer can get.

This beer pours out a deep clear golden color with a light finger-thick white head. Aroma is faint of hay and honey with a light bitterness. Flavors are slightly malty with grassy hops hitting the tounge. The finish is incredibly dry and I personally like that. A sharp crisp pilsener that really feels clean in the mouth. What suprised me about this one is that the finish is that clean and crisp without a ton of hops, this is hopped lighter than many pilseners I’ve had before yet still pulls off the classic flavors and dry finish those that admire a good pilsener have come to know and love.

Honey malts on the nose with musty lager aromas. Pours yellow blonde with no head. Crisp with honey malts, smooth body with a crisp dry finish. Not bad.
