Jul 22, 2005 Grassy, lightly spicy hops and grainy pils malt in the aroma. Clear pale golden colour with low white head that diminishes to partial cover with some lace. Grainy pils malt character with moderately crisp finishing bitterness. Medium-light body is somewhat slick but offset by lively carbonation. Lager glass, just above fridge temp. Bottle (RBSG’05 leftovers).

Bottle. Well either my tastes have changed or I previously had a bad batch or something cause I quite enjoyed this beer this time. Pours a clear bubbly gold with an average size diminishing creamy white head. Nice aroma, pretty dead on for the style. Sweet with Saaz hops. Flavour has a decent bitter finish. Nice hop and malt balance to the taste. Medium bodied. Pretty good, not sure what happened last time I tried it.
Original rating: 5.3.2.2.4: 1.6
Draught at BarVolo. You’ve gotta be kidding, the average for this beer is 3.24?! WTF?! Here goes: Pours a light clear gold with an average white head. Nice carbonation, nice lacing, looks lively. So that’s a good start. Next the aroma: typical pilsner aroma of malt and yeast, no hops. At least it’s not skunky. Now the taste: Ugh! Just awful. Soap, corn, wheat, wet cardboard, malt and some hops in the aftertaste. Why is this rated so high? Did I get a bad batch? Not likely. I’ll be avoiding this one from now on.

Jul 16, 2005 Updated: Aug 24, 2005Draught at Volo. Wan, pale yellow, weakly bubbly, like stepped-on ginger ale - small white head with gorgeous gingerbreaded lacing. Irritating aroma - wet cardboard, dead scorched grass, stale hops, and wet-dog yeast. Tasted of yeast, harsh stale grains & hops - mouthfeel was minerally, flat, finished long with a bad combination of barn floor, dry stone and metals. I’ll have to re-rate - it CAN’T be this bad.

Jul 14, 2005 Yellow. Light fizzy head. Rough hop aroma, slightly chemical. Strong dominant hop flavour and finish.

Apr 20, 2005 A very hoppy entrant in the Ontario pils market. I tried the tap at Smokeless Joe’s and enjoyed the golden brew; although, it was too bitter for my fiance!

Feb 9, 2005 Floral crisp golden bubbly beer with a bitterness that can’t be beat. A pretty decent boh and a great offering from another Ontario micro.

Feb 5, 2005 Updated: Jun 21, 2006Poured a slightly clouded pale gold...fair white frothy cap..good lacing, medium carbonation...promising nose..musty sweet malt tones over a floral hop presense. Medium malt body ( probably a very nice blend of german light malts) that is over powered by the tart citrus/herbal bittering hops...leaves a clean finish with a lingering metal taste...this is a hop heads pilsner that is a domestic attempt at Pilsner Urquell...but the delivery is very malty.

Nov 13, 2004 Well I have a feeling that this might be better than I gave it credit for, and the taste of the previous bad beer was still in my mouth. It was very pale yellow with thin head and a bit of lacing. Definitely grassy aromas and a crisp meadow-ish flavour. The giveaway that it might be decent was that I finally got a nice bitter finish - I need to try this again.
