Draft @ Flavor. Pours a clear, tarnished golden color; fluffy off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing; nice pour. Very light nose showing a touch of reserved mineral bitterness alongside touches of honey and toastiness. Lively carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: zesty mineral and herbal bitterness coupled to a toasty breadiness, very dry and crisp presence; refreshing, zesty hops and bubbles on the tip of the tongue; hints of green olives. A beautifully sessionable pils. Lengthy finish: toasted malts, light breadiniess, and a long, long, lasting mineral bitterness.

On tap. Clear golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Clean, malty aroma with some hops. Medium body with a solid malt base and a distinct and dominatic aromatic hop finish. 110709

From tap at Flavor. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Light grassy and bitter aroma. Light sweet malty flavoured with a crisp grassy hoppyness coming through. Bitter and dry crisp finish.

Draft at a restaurant in San Fran. Its not too clean golden color with some visible carbonation. Aroma is lightly hoppy (lightly herbal), and just clean light malts with a hint of fruity lagerness. The flavor losses the lager fruitiness, which is good. There is beautiful white bread malts with just a bit of herbal hops and a touch of bitterness at the end. Its just beautifully balanced.

Pours dark golden with a cream colored head. Nose and flavor are smooth with a touch of grain, caramel and citrus. Dry finish.

Golden, well made, but lacks anything special. Much better palate than normal lagers.

On tap at 515 in Santa Cruz. Poured into a big pilsener glass. Clear golden amber color with two fingers of tan head. Nice thick lacing and substantial retention. Aromas of bread and caramel malt with some hop citrus that melds nicely. Flavor is bready with some lactic character. A touch of caramel malt and a nice piney hop finish with moderate bitterness. Kinda of like an overhopped Boston Lager. Great balance, perfect carbonation, semidry finish, excellent drinkability.
