COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottom fermented pilsner style beer. Very elegant, pale in color, dry and hoppy. Its crisp clean taste is due to the extra fine Bavarian hops.

Bottle... not as enjoyable to me as the Optimator or Oktoberfest, but still a very good beer.

Delirium (563) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUN 30, 2007
Bottle. Pours clear straw yellow with a large bubbly white head. Aroma is grassy and grainy plus the usual malty/hoppy pilsener aroma. Flavor is mild with light malt, and a light nondescript bitterness especially towards the middle and end. Very crisp mouthfeel. A well made pilsener, if not particularly noteworthy.

waolsen (1296) - Littleton, Colorado, USA - JUN 22, 2007
UPDATED: MAR 27, 2008 bottle. golden clear spotchy white head. some lacing. grrain, faint lemon aroma. yeast, grain, watery, uncomforatable peppery bitterness. disappointing pils. 5/3/4/2/10 3/27/08 flavor much the same as above but this time I enjoyed the dry peppery bitterness. I found this beer light and crisp and enjoyed this Pils. I’ve been on a Pils kick lately. My tastes have changed a bit.

DuffMan (4241) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 20, 2007
Straw blonde, rapidly settling bubbly white head, scanty lace. Grassy grainy aroma. Crisp palate with exceptional bitterness and a very dry finish. Excellent example of the true style.

troopie (1557) - Munchen an der Willamette, Oregon, USA - JUN 19, 2007
Bottle. Poured vary pale with thin white head. Malty pilsenery aroma. Clean refeshing hoppy tate with a light body. Clean finish. This is a worthy example of a German pils and is best on a hot day.

jdhunt76 (56) - Winter Springs, Florida, USA - MAY 20, 2007
Bottle. Clear golden pour with a bitter aroma. Smooth drinking pils with a good amount of bitter that hangs around in the aftertaste as well. No bells or whistles, but a good pilsner none the less.

awaisanen (1312) - Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 8, 2007
From a 16oz draught. Pours a very pale, light golden color with a finger of sudsy white head. Clean, grassy hop aroma with a hint of bready malts. A little bit of herbal spice; very crisp. Light bodied, sparkling mouthfeel. Very clean, fresh, and highly drinkable with a nice bready start to the flavors. Finish is crisp and highly hopped, bringing out a satisfyingly bitter final smack. This sample was nice and fresh, making it a fine example of the style overall.

petermadsen (390) - Vesterbronxxx, DENMARK - APR 21, 2007
Light amber w/ fading head. The aroma is of saaz-like hops. Flavour is crisp and malty with upfornt noblehops. Not very bitter... The palate is thin and stale (might be that farmergirl-like waitress having a hard time...)
