Draught @ TFOB: Wow, finally the pilsener that made me a believer! Previous to this the only pils I’ve truly found drinkable is Steam Whistle, but this one beats that one like a red-headed stepchild. Or a rented mule. Either or. Anyways, she pours amazing, pure liquid gold with a bountiful creamy white head, very light natural carbonation rising slowly. Aroma heavy in floral and hoppy notes with plenty of grains. Taste is pure, proper, Czech-style pilsener without the harsh bitterness I’ve become used to from the style. Very light in body with floral malts over the tongue and hops lightly tapping them on the way down. Amazing, I’d drink this anytime; after the Laker and PC debacle, Jim Brickman has won me back.

Sep 1, 2008 (473ml bottle) Purchased at LCBO Rideau in Ottawa for $1.95. Pours a medium, white foamy head atop a deep amber body. Nose of grass and mild malt. Flavour is mildly hopped with some caramel malt and spice finishing the palate. Nothing special but not offensive for under $2.

Aug 13, 2008 [1552-20080727] 473mL can. Bit of straw in the aroma. Clear, yellow brown body with a quick white foam. Straw-like grain flavour is mostly bubbly and bland. Light body is a little astringent. Fair.

Aug 7, 2008 One of the few Canadian beers I can say I thoroughly enjoyed. Tastes like any good German Pilsener you have had before. Recommended.

Jun 27, 2008 Large, fizzy, rapidly dimishing head with no lacing. A deep sparkling yellow colour. Smells of malt and grass. Medium body with a refreshingly clean feel. Average finish. A very refreshing beer that is a little complex.

May 17, 2008 Decent slightly sour pilsner. Not too sweet, bitter or watery, kind of a good balance of pilsner flavors. If I was a pilsner guy - I would be excited,. I just don’t think I’m that into this type of beers.
