3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 bubbleflubber (1206) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - JUL 25, 2006
Deep golden into the glass, with a medium head and nice sudsy lacing. I get some hops and grapefruit initially to the nose.... this trails away as the beer warms into a sweeter grain bouquet. Crisp and clean with a light body, the flavors are are extremely well-hopped, although a bit unilateral, with some pale malt hints and maybe an aura of citrus throughout the pull. The finish is again crisp and bitter, lingering medium pepper. Nice example of a pils.... honestly, this style isn’t my favorite, but I do enjoy this brew and appreciate the offering.

Sweet grain and mild but distinct aroma, no head to speak of of, light german malt and hop balance, mild bitterness in aftertaste, certainly enough taste to distinguish it from an American lager,didn’t have that crispness a pilsner should have. Thanks Kingpin

From bottle. Pours a deep yellow with no head. Nose is lightly sweet with a hint of lemon. Flavor follows with a crisp finish. One of the better pilseners I’ve had.

One bottle from varity pk I got while in OBX. Poured golden in color with a avg. white head. Smooth texture of the body was nice, but the slightly bitter ending was not.

A malty sweetness in the nose was a surprise, so was the appearance, hazy but nice gold. A bit of grapefruit in the aroma too. Palate was nice and subtle and the hops came through at the end.

Had this one bottled in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. A very nice Pilsener. Straw colored golden pour with a nice thick white head, nose of hops and delightful lemongrass notes. Very good.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Pailhead (3326) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - JUN 5, 2006
Bottle: Courtesy of Immy via trade. Aroma is light sweet citrus with some light floral and grassy hops. Pours a bright transparent golden-orange with a moderate creamy white head with fair retention. Sweet up front with a fruitiness that lasts from start to finish. Finishes with a light floral and citrus hoppiness. Floral hops linger into the aftertaste for a short time. Not a pilsner fan, but this has to be one of the better pilsners I’ve ever tasted. Very suprised by this one. Very few pilsners score in the 3’s with me, nevermind the high 3’s. This would be a great refreshing summer session beer. My highest rated pilsner.

Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Pale gold with white head. Aromas of grass, dry hay, tangy light malt, and some sour citrus notes. Flavors of all of the above, very well balanced, crisp and bitter throughout, with a lingering tart bite in the finish. Very tasty.
