Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Saaz like hoppy aroma with some sweetness and light diacetyl. The flavor has husky straw like malts, light saaz hops, and a hint of diacetyl. Not bad.

It just doesnt hit the right notes. So many pilseners out there. I would say avoid this one.

Clear yellow color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was corny and grainy. The flavor was grainy as well with a floral hop middle and finish. Cereal taste at the tail end. Light body.

Smells okay. A little ricy. This is okay at best but just seems a little funky and too much like a pale lager to me.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(11/2/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in downtown San Diego. Clear golden color. Aroma of malt, light buttery notes and a bit of bread. Sweetish malty flavor with a bit of bread and a bitter hoppy finish with some grassy, slightly spicy, notes. Medium-bodied. A decent Pils.

Draught at Karl Strauss La Jolla. Clear golden color with thin white head. Light noble hop aroma and flavor nicely balanced with a slgithly sweet cereal grain flavor. Crisp and clean, light body. Not a bad beer.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Old Columbia location. Golden yellow with a medium white head. Has a fairly discernable level of hops (18 IBU), but not a burner. Malt content makes this a tasty light lager. Not so pilsner-like to me, but I like it. Way way better than the Endless summer crap they make. This is the refreshing summer beer that you want.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is a $8 rating, because the only reason I tried this is because it was at a concert. Clear gold, white head. Grainy malt, light sweet and lightly hoppy. Middle of the road beer, nothing special.
