Orange straw color with minimal head. Aroma is malty, bready with some nice citrus hops.

pours a hazy straw color. Aroma is sweet malts and grain. Taste is sweet and grainy, a touch of bittering hops in the finish. Overall, not very enjoyable for me.

Light hazy yellow colour with a foamy white head. Malty aroma with cereal notes and hints of hay. Malty, grainy sweet flavor with a fruity and hoppy note.

Pours with a nice amber colour and medium head. Refreshingly spicy and bready with crisp hops. A very good pilsener.

Bottle. Pours bright yellow with some haze and a large white head. The aroma is cookies, some hay-like Saaz notes, and a little bit of orange. The flavor is very grainy with some sweet bready qualities and a very mild earthy bitterness throughout. It has a semi-sweet finish and a distant floral aftertaste. Pretty good for what it is.

Realized that I had not rated it after it was gone from the shelves. Then I found a single much shaken bottle this week. Yeast is very present but I left 95% of the floaties in the bottle for the rating. Pale yellow with a persistent thin white covering. Soft hop nose with scents of bread and young grass. Flavour is a little too sweet. Noticeable light hops and a sour bitterness in the finish. Not sure if the sourness is due to the questionable nature of the bottle.

Cloudy pale gold (I was surprised that this was unfiltered), with a thick white head. Nice rich, bready aroma. Flavor is also bready, with a definate yeast note. Understated, but enjoyable.

Bottle. Clear golden coloured with a huge white head. Aroma of malts, fruits and hops. Flavour of malts, fruits and hops.
