3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20 bvbellomo (3) - , Ohio, USA - JAN 4, 2009 does not count
Dark for a Pilsner, and very cloudy, even for unfiltered beer. As a homebrewer, I never filter anything, and have never made a beer this cloudy. Finish is too sweet for my palate, but taste and aroma contain many pleasant but subtle elements. Hops come through, but could be stronger. Some citrus, earthy notes, honey, grass. Overall, a good, but restrained taste. To me, not the best example of the Pilsner style.

UPDATED: DEC 3, 2009 Clear golden with a medium white head. Grassy hops hits the nose along with malt. Flavour had plenty of grassy hops, malt and caramel notes. Finished quite bitter. Lovely!

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2009 Grassy hop aroma. Small head with some quick-to-fade lace. A clear golden yellow to the beer. Moderate body. Nice mild hoppy taste with hints of sweet potato and a dry finish. Grassy hops persist throughout, and a little salty and cashew like in the end. Nice take on the pilsener.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 asheft (2030) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 10, 2008
[bottle--thanks, pivnizub!; the bottle says 5.0% abv]
Very nice aroma of fresh hops that are a bit herbal and lemony, together with a crips maltiness. Crystal clear gold under a lacy, white flannel blanket. Sweet base malt flavour with a little caramel and nicely rounded bitterness that is in good balance to the sweet malt, but with not quite enough hops flavour. Some salted nuts. Medium body, crisp, moderate carbonation.
