12 oz bottle, thanks Legion242! Pale yellow beer, slightly hazy with a thin white head. Aroma is quite citrusy, lemon, spicy hops, a touch of diacetyl as well. Flavour shows nice malt/hop balance, moderate bitterness, and prominent spicy hops. The diacetyl is quite distracting though. Bready finish.

Pours with a largish, foamy white head covering a clear, hay colored body. Suprisingly good retention and lacing. Aroma is fruity and citrusy (grapefruit) with some hay. Slightly bitter, but mostly bland taste. Watery mouthfeel.

Botle. Yellow pour. LIght white head. Hoppy nose with caramel malt and some toothpick aroma. Flavor is crisp and clean, with lemony notes and some smooth hops.

a sim rate: (on tap at Flying Saucer in Houston, TX) Nice flavour. Almost fruity - malty. Smells a bit like sweaty fingers. Slightly soapy flavour. Nice sweet aftertaste.

A: The pour is a nice golden color with a moderate white head on it. S: Sweet malt and grain on the nose with a touch of butter and skunk. A light breadiness and not too much in the way of hops. T: Somewhat bready and primarily sweet in terms of the flavor. The hops aren’t very pronounced, unfortunately, and there is not much to really cover up the butter and skunk. M: Light to medium bodied, as one might expect from a a pilsner. The carbonation is medium as well. D: Not nearly as bad as the Fancy Lawnmower, but not all that good either. I suppose if it was ice cold you might be able to put a few of these away.

Thanks to LeopoldStoch for this one. Pours pale gold with 1-finger white head. Nice clean appearance that is appropriate for a pils. The aroma is pale malt, spicy black peppery lemongrassy hopcitrus. The flavor is pale malty, with a black pepper hoppiness and mid-palate citrus. Smooth, crisp palate that is on the light side. Still, this is a fine summer pils, one that I would gladly quaff any time.

Bottled. Poured hazy pale golden with a dense, sticky white head. The aroma picked up bread and honey sweetness, with accents of grass and lemon zest.. a little dank on the back of the nose.. not bad. The flavor found similar malts at the core, with honey leading.. dry and grainy on the edges, with dusty lemon and a touch of related sourness.. too much sugarage to really be refreshing.. just OK. Light-bodied, dry, and grainy on the palate, with prickly carbonation and other sourness on the edges.. decent feel and flow.

Bottle courtesy of lb4lb. Pours yellow with a white head. Smells of crisp dry malt, splashes of pepper, some hints of citrus. Tastes breaddy with some nice pilsner malt touches and an underlying bitterness. Decent.

bottle, big foamy head that fades to soap, golden yellow color, malty nose with a malt flavor and hop finish

Bottle extra in a trade. Pours a pale yellow body with a thin white head. Grainy and simple with a light grassy hoppiness. eh.
