Pale yellow gold color with a decent head. Light bready sweetness in aroma and flavor. A good amount of bready notes with grass and peppery hops. Nice and hoppy, with a crisp finish. Nice pils.

4 oz. sample @ brewpub - pale gold and clear, but pretty fizzy going down; aromas mainly of yeast, some sweet hops and banana; earthy too; drinks sweet and dry; one the bland side overall with slight spice in the finish

Brisk, watery and Corona-ish. Nose is yeast, a metallic smell and light hop. Pours yellow with not much head.

I had this on tap. It’s a nice, aromatic pilsner. It is golden with a fairly good white head that lasts a bit. It has aromatic grain and light bread in aroma and flavour with mostly citrusy hops backed up with some grassiness.The light sweetness accents the dominant but smooth bitterness and it has a strongly aromatic grain finish after the hop bite. It’s nice and reminiscent somewhat of Moonlight Reality Czech, although not quite up to that level to me.

Draft @ Rubicon. Pale yellow with a frothy, bright white head. Toasted and grainy malt aromas with a subtle hop spiciness. Clean and malty. Cereal notes. Pretty strong hop bitterness. Finishes dry with a lingering toast flavor.
