2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours golden yellow with a frothy white head. Pretty much a standard pilsner with a little bit more hops. It's not bad, it's just not a style that I prefer.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On draught at the Trappist in Oakland. Fizzy orange with a good head. Light aroma, pilsy. Its a dry pils, ok. Very Czech, but also very disappointing. Its just a standard pilsner. Too dry, very bitter and nothing else to it.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at flavor (assume it was this, though it was listed only as pils). Light yellow/golden color. Citrus, grass, grain. Crisp. Refreshing. Soft and sweet. Quite nice.

16 ounce sample on tap at Blackbird in Sacramento, CA. I have had this numerous times in the past, but not sure why I have never rated it. The aroma has a nice sweet cereal character with a really snappy, grassy, and floral hop aroma. Really nice. Transparent golden body with a smallish white head present. Starts lightly sweet with nice cereal and light biscuit maltiness in the middle. Finishes with a super clean grassy, herbal hop flavoring. Good mineral balance, too. Really good stuff. Love this.

Draft at Flavor. Faint haze, solid white head. Hay, cracker malt, grassy hop...more creamy than most pils but super traditional and nice smelling. Creamy balanced czech hops and pale malt...crisp but not over the top carb. Super smooth and really good. Really loving these Moonlight beers.

Tap. Pours clear golden with a small white head and nice lacing. Aroma is grain, citrus, yeast. Flavor is light sweet and light sour/tart lemon with a light grassy bitterness. Light bodied. Refreshing and quite nice.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Best of the Bay. Aroma and flavor of an imperial pils. Lots of flavor, but palate suffers because of it as well. It's pretty full flavored. Good beer.

On tap at rate beer best of the bay. Poured clear light straw colour. Aroma is lagerish. Flavor is better, some Nobel hop character but otherwise a light pils. Lots of head and lacing, palate is smooth.

OK, I prefer his others more. Was really solid, and to style, but missed the "special factor". The noble hops were there but didn’t come out. A little soft.
