Commercial Description:
Brewed using American hallertau and spalt select hops. Straw colored, and lightly hopped. Very refreshing and light bodied. This is a wonderful example of this traditional lager style.

Draft, Actually one of my favorite American Pilsners. I wish it was more widely available. Crisp clean and lightly hopped. The head is huge and like a whipped cream ad. This would be a great alternative to the BMC crap out there, keg it, distribute it and I promise, we will drink it.

great conditioning with a nice spicy hop profile. Slightly honeyed with a bit of toast. Big mouthfeel that stays full and rich with no astringency. Clean and dry finish with a lingering grassy finish.

Draft. Clear, pale yellow color with a frothy white head. Toasty malt aroma. Clean fresh flavor. Malty with a noticable hop bitterness. Dry finish. Very nice pilsner.

Draught at 2006 Craft Lager Festival. Pours golden yellow with a white edgy head. Aroma is perfumey hops, corn malt (grain), yeast (sweat, grass) and flowers. Moderately bitter, medium acidity, malt and sweaty yeast flavor, sour and dry finish. Light bodied and dry palate.
