Plamadude30k (122), Tucson, Arizona, USA Apr 28, 2009 Nothing all that special, but very pleasant to drink on a hot summer day. I usually don’t like lagers as much, but I did enjoy this quite a bit. fidelis83 (709), Clinton, Iowa, USA Apr 24, 2009 Pours pale gold with a 3+ finger foamy white head that has good retention and leaves some lacing. Aroma is grass, straw, grain, lager yeast and some mild herbal notes. Flavor is lager yeast, french bread crust, grass, old straw, a little metal and just a hint of pine. Finish is somewhat bitter and fairly heavy on the lager yeast. Palate is thin to medium thin and a little slippery on entry but dry and clean on the finish, a little sticky on the lips. Overall, a good summer, burgers and brats type brew but nothing too interesting. Coltrane (108), South Carolina, USA Apr 24, 2009 A nice pilsner. Easy drinking, but only suitable to summer days and preferably the beach. Both a huge plus and a huge minus, depending on the situation.
Not quite as fantastic as the PA pilsners, but worthy of your attention. cbeers21 (563), Miami, Florida, USA Apr 19, 2009 Golden pour. Cereal aromas, fruity pebbles, berry slight woodsy corn quality to the smell. Crisper refresher to taste with a touch of fruit and sweetness but a distant earthy pine aura. A quencher for the summertime and decent enough. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Apr 18, 2009 Bottle. Fruity malt aroma. Light golden body, white head. Distinctive flavor, surprisingly assertive, with hoppy bitterness along with chewy malts. Full finish. tarheels86 (704), Washington DC, USA Apr 18, 2009 Bottle. Purs a clear, pale yellow with a one-finger, decently fluffy white head. Mild carbonation. Not great retention or lacing. Aroma is lemongrass, lemon peel, light floral hops. Taste is not unlike a mild pilsner. Great Saaz hops balancing creating sort of a dry, spicy edge to the beer. I actually like this and given that is supposed to be a lighter, summertime beer to enjoy in the heat, this dead on. clong83 (243), San Diego, California, USA Mar 26, 2009 One of my least favorites from this brewery. They do hoppy and malty well, but I don’t think they have the summer lager down... In any case, it’s light and a bit fruity, but really I just thought of it as very plain. Still, I guess not bad for the style. Not as thin as I find most pilsner/lager styles. vonderbrink (10), Concord, California, USA Mar 19, 2009 Bottle: very nice beer, very crisp and refreshing.
light to medium body
1 finger head that last half the beer (I was thirsty).
