Apr 3, 2004 On tap in my local alehouse. A flowery malty nose that brings some hop aroma as well. Nothing special in the color department- looks like a pilsener. Hop flavor is not as biting as some pilseners. A subtle Belgian yeast zinger sneaks into the flavor. Much better on tap than in the bottle.

Mar 26, 2004 This pilsener pours with a golden body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet with slight malty notes and grassy, slightly woody hop notes. The flavor is bitter, slightly sour and hoppy with grassy notes and a little malt. Light bodied, slightly smooth and slightly dry.

Mar 23, 2004 Updated: Jul 29, 2006Bottle, 12 oz. Crystal clear golden yellow with large white head, moderate lace. I could have easily counted the very few large bubbles rising through it. Nice but light European hoppiness in the nose and on the palate. Quite dry, bitter, and tart. Pleasant grain/malt flavor complemented well with the hops. Just a bit too sharp and also somewhat harsh IMO. Maybe the result of improper storage (I bought it at room temp) was dated 28May04. Will definately try again from a different source and batch to see. 7/29/06 This pils has a grassy with a touch of lemon aroma and taste. I won’t seek it out but will drink it gladly in the summer when something better is not available.

Mar 17, 2004 Updated: Sep 10, 2004Cloudy yellow color with big off white head. For an American pilsener, it was pretty good. Doughy with a mellow hop bitterness in the finish.

Feb 26, 2004 Normally I'm not a huge fan of bitterness in beer but the Blue Paddle has a comfortable tinge of bitteress to it. It has a medium golden chroma to it. Another fine beer. New Belgium has yet to disapoint me.

Feb 26, 2004 An average plsner with a bit of bite and not very much flavor to enjoy. For a thirst quencher, not bad and better than the average lager.

Feb 24, 2004 Light gold/hay appearance, little head. Aromas are slight: wheat grass, oregano, citrus. The flavor is quite herbal, like an provincial herb tea, and somewhat in keeping with the wheatgrass aromas. A lemon farm in winter. Finish is crisp and bright, it cleanses the palate nicely. Outstanding late summer session beer.

Feb 24, 2004 Golden yellow in color with a white head which leaves intricate lace to the bottom of the glass. The nose has more malt than the delicate hop aromas of a pilsner. Alive in the mouth, with a clean, crisp dryness. Grassiness to go with th e lawnmower.
