2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Poured with an instant tower of decent foamy head, over a light golden beer. The aroma is floral, but quite spring-grassy. It drinks with a decent light malty base, with a flowering bittering agent to finish. It lacks the body of the finer European varietals, but a good option for those looking for a light lager-like beer for mowing the lawn. (#3435, 4/25/2008)
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours yellow with a fine, white head. Aroma is rather grassy. Full mouth feel with a strong grassy flavor. Pretty solid bittering hop afterbite. Pretty damned good pilsner!
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a golden yellow with a bright white head. Mild, soapy aroma. Flavor is crisp, metallic, with some citrus (orange) notes and a hint of apricot. Somewhat watery. Not bad.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
My Bottom Line:
Honeyed maltiness caresses the underlying haystack within which grows a personable noble hop spicing in this balanced and well-nourished Pilsener.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam crowns the hay yellow.
-This may not be crisp enough to be stellar in my book, but it remains a very good malt-laden example of the style.
-It is very drinkable despite its hefty leanings.
-Finishing hop bitterness is appreciable and incites further gulps.

2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours a cloudy yellow, very carbonated with bubbles all over the sides of the glass. Rises steadily into an uneven, cotton white head. Aroma is again sweet, much like the lager of this brewery, with hints of citrus fruit. Taste is also a bit sweet, not as dry as I would like from a pilsner. Good amount of hops, but they seem out of place here. Not so much German, but west coast Oregon, making this seem more like a watery IPA. This just doesnt have the qualities of what I think equate to a good pilsener.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Poured a pale cloudy brew with a minimal head. First in a 6pk from the company. Not a huge fan of pilsners but not bad.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle in VA: Pretty standard pilsener with some strong hoppiness. That being said, there’s still a lot of balance in this beer.
