COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Friesian Pilsener is a pale golden colored lager, brewed to quench the summer thirst of the many worthy denizens of the Great Pacific Northwest. This Pilsener is medium bodied, brewed with a truly authentic Pilsener malt and a large percentage of Munich malt to create a beer with the classic German Pilsener character. In the traditional method, we have brewed this Leavenworth Beer with imported German and Czech hops for a crisp, assertive hop bitterness and aroma.

Draught@Fish Tale brewpub, Olympia
Clear golden color, small white head, lace. Light citrusy aroma. Light-bodied. Crisp mouthfeel. Hoppy pilsner with grapefruity-citrusy flavor. Sweetish malty backbone. Nice!

troopie (1647) - Munchen an der Willamette, Oregon, USA - MAY 8, 2011
Draught. Yellow pour with medium white head. Not much aroma, a thin grassiness, pleasant. Thin bodied. Tastes rather like Castle lager before they put maize in it. Not memorable

Nose is bready, cereal grainy, and lightly grassy. Pours golden with a frothy foamy head that lasts through the whole beer. Bready and cereal grain make up the malt profile with light grassy bitterness in the finish as well as a sharp clean peppery note that cleanses the palate. I love well made pilsner.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - OCT 6, 2008
On tap at Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a golden (slightly amber) body with a medium white head. Zesty, crisp and sessionable. Nothing special, but a great summer beer to kick back with. Mild bready quality that bites with Euro hops in the finish. Eh.

OldMrCrow (1419) - Seattle, Washington, USA - APR 28, 2008
Tap at the Mont Lake Alehouse.

Pours a thin amber with little head. Nice fruity aroma (apple) and malt-forward, robust in its grains. Crisp hops never overpower those warm grains - this feels as if it’s pushing amber territory in some ways - but the beer has an enjoyable snap to the finish nonetheless, and certainly drinks smoothly.

Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 27, 2008
Deep gold colour with light sparkle and a thin head. Herbal hop nose has a light grassiness and thin baguettey malts underpinning. Crisp, moderate bitterness with light caramel accent to the bready pale malts. Not bad, not bad. I like a pils to have a little more of either punch or nuance but this is perfectly acceptable. Draught, Anthony’s in SeaTac Airporterl

BeerZack (116) - Austin, Texas, USA - MAR 23, 2008
On tap@ Bailey’s Taproom (Portland) Deep golden orange color with great white head that laces quite well. Very spicy and hoppy, saison-like aroma; with floral and grassy notes, some graininess. Good malty body with touch of sugar-like sweetness up front that’s effortlessly balanced by a very floral bitter hop finish. Soft and smooth mouthfeel despite strong carbonation. Great domestic Pils!

Tap - Fish Brewery - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Light malt, with some hops. A typical pils.
Appearance – Golden in color, clear, with a nice head
Flavor – This was a light ale with a good overall lawnmower style taste. No hops to really taste.
Palate – Dry in the finish crisp and easy to drink
Overall –Served in the correct glass way to go FISH. I thought it was a easy lawnmower beer. Not bad good for those looking for a good beer and something cold, yellow and wet.
