Commercial Description:
Blue Paddle Pilsener, crafted with malt-only brewing and noble hops, explores the boundaries where American lagers seldom journey. Reflective of Europe's finest Pilseners, Blue Paddle delivers a refreshing bitterness, vibrant finish and a subtle but intricate depth of flavor.

This is not my favorite style, but his beer seems to be a good version of the pilsener lager. Tastes like a fuller Bud sans the nasty grain (rice,corn) alcohol taste.

good pilsner, a little bit of bitterness, which makes it highly drinkable but doesn’t deliver for me.

12 oz. bottle. Attractive head, which lasted, nice lacing, a bit of nose with promise, pleasant pale yellow, watery on the tongue, minimal bitterness, not much finish. I thought the hops would be larger.

Musty, yeasty earthy aroma. Lite citrus. Light malts and minimal hops flavor. Very easy-going palate. Slightly dry finish

Clear bright yellow appearance, with a medium-sized white head atop. Smells musty and old, with that typical lager aroma, but still a little more enjoyable because of yeasty qualities. Very effervescent, with a slightly sour flavor among the regulat matly ones. Not anything extraordinary, but definitely drinkable

Solid pils. Good, grassy hops. It has a very rich, grainy mouthfeel and a perfect looking pour.
