Comes out of the tap a clear golden yellow with a thick white head. Aroma is crisp, malty and quite inviting. Flavor is crisp and malty like a typical pilsner, with a fruity undertone and more rounded out than most pilsners I have tried. Texture is tingly, lively and sassy. I am not a big fan of pilsners or lagers, but I did like this one and I recommend it to pilsner lovers.

Not my favorite style but this was OK. Very light all around. Hoppy aroma and taste. Nice light amber with a small head. A little watery but refreshing.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - JUN 23, 2009
12 ounce bottle courtesy of maniac. Thanks! Pours a clear copper color with a one finger head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted malts and musty apples. Taste is grassy hops, toasted malts, apples and other fruit notes, light caramel. Medium bodied.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - JUN 22, 2009
12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small foamy head. A little skunk, crisp hops, a little perfume, and some cardboard in the nose. Medium-high carbonation with a light mouthfeel. Light caramel, sweet malt, a little grass, and grain on the palate. Medium-short finish. Light and fairly refreshing, but a little on the watery side. Overall not a bad brew.

12oz bottle, from treyrab, thanks Trey. Classic gold pour with a pretty nice white head. Classic malt aroma, a little grassy and a little bit of caramel. Nice malty backbone, very clean anf flavorful with just a little hop bite in there. Pretty tasty pils.

MaltDawg (1344) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAR 27, 2009
Malty caramel graininess in aroma. Not much hop aroma and clean with no fruitiness. Clear amber golden with small white head. Malty flavor with little hop flavor. Finish is malty and clean. Not really a Pilsner but still pretty tasty. More a Dunkel or Vienna style lager. Medium body and mouth feel.

Slipstream (1465) - USA - MAR 24, 2009
Nice amber color. Fairly light, dry, and bitter brew. Not much of a pilsner, but that is because it apparently is a Vienna lager. So so. This brewer has not really won me over. They are just a click above the macros imho.
