Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is grain, grass and a hint of citrus. Taste is sweet with crisp bitterness. Light bodied

Straw colored, light bodied Pilsner with floral hop aroma and clean malt flavor. Definitely an easy drinker in the brewpub’s line-up.

I’m typically not a pilsner fan, but this beer had so much hop character that it wasn’t a typical bland pils. I liked it so much, I ordered two.

Draught at TND: Aroma of Pils malts, citrus, grains, slight citrus, and Noble hops. Poured yellow/gold in color with a small, white head that lasted throughout. Slightly hazy. Very sparkling. Very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of Pils malt, grain, Noble hops, and a hint of citrus. Light body. Slightly tingly, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Grain, Noble hop, Pils malt, finish is dry. Much better than I expected.

A: Pale golden-straw body. Moderate sized off-white head. Minimal retention. Faint lacing. S: Grass, grain, lemon, a little biscuit. T: faint grassy-citric bitterness, large grainy presence, some pale malts. M: Light bodied, a bit over-carbonated, mild bitterness, finish could be crisper. O: A mid-level pilsner that does not offend the palate.

(Draught) Pours a clear yellow body with a medium dense off-white head. Aroma of grass, grain, lemon zest, and skunk. Flavor of grass, skunk, grain, and citrus with a dry, bitter finish.

From tap. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is slight grassy and citrusy. Bitter and citrusy hoppy. Dry grassy and lingering citrusy into the finish.

golden pour. aroma is light crisp pils malt with a bit of thin hop character well. Nice and clean. Flavor is a bit thin but still pleasant, easy drinking. Decent pils. very crisp and clean, which is very typical of manayunks lagers. Decent.

Draft at Capone’s. Pours rather light golden with fizzy white head. Nose is fruity, mild Saazy hoppy, with a light palated flavor consisting of hops and some mild fruit notes.

Clear golden with a white head. Light hops and some maltiness in the aroma. Flavor has a more pronounced hop presence with light floral and earthy hops. The light malts aides it’s ease of drinking. Nothing to write home about but a solid, sessionable lager.
