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 &#40;grain&#41;, yeast &#40;sweat, grass&#41; and flowers. Moderately bitter, medium acidity, malt and sweaty yeast flavor, sour and dry finish. Light bodied and dry palate.

Draft. Pale golden-straw color with a whitish head. Great noble hop aroma and flavor. Light malt, good spice. Lots of hops to keep it interesting, yet still be light and drinkable.
