Pour really pale gold into the New Belgium pilsener glass. Big frothy white head and lots of sheeting lace in the side of the glass. Smells of herbal noble hops and faint sourness of pale malt. Taste is dominated by strong noble hops. Hops in the finish and linger in the aftertaste. Crisp and clean mouth. Refreshing and tasty, a nice domestic pilsener.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold color with a thin white head that lingers. Taste and aroma are of hops and malt. Crisp, clean and refreshing. Is well balanced and very easy to drink.

If I’m down s**t creek without a paddle, this wouldn’t be the paddle I’d want to bring me solace. Straw yellow with a rocky white head. Aroma of lemon, sweet malt, earthy hops. Body is astringent, thin and chalky with the taste of burnt hops and mild lemon.

Golden with a white head. Plenty of hops to match style with a grainy taste. Light bitter finish. One of their better offerings.
