Aroma: Hints of bread with banana on the very edges, but all faint Appearance: Clear gold with thick, white head and hints of effervescence Taste: Light bitterness straight through. Not unpleasant, but one dimensional Palate: Light body, watery texture, strong carbonation, long dry finish Overall: Meh...it’s a solid enough session beer, with a nice finish, but I’m not overwhelmed.

Sample at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week (and my 800th Ohio beer). Clear pale golden pour with a medium thin white head that burns away to an outer ring quickly. Top ring of lacing on the glass with spots underneath. Aroma of mild hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, herbs and biscuit malt. The finish is lightly hoppy with a short fruity aftertaste. Decent overall.

Pale golden color out of the bottle with a short lived white head. Light grain and lemon zest nose. Some raw grain flavors with a strong lemony taste and something metallic in the back. Long, green bitterness in the finish. Pretty standard craft pilsner.

Draft sample. Poured clear golden color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

Draft at South Park Tavern. Really floral aroma that almost reminds me of rosewater and candy. Wow, strong flavor. Really bold for a pils. Good.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle. Notes of citrus rind, pilsner malts, some slight skunkiness. All in all this is a good citrusy summer pilsner.

Poured on draft. Pale yellow with a nice white frothy head. Aroma is mildly grainy with a noticeable resiny hop profile. It’s not in your face, but it’s hop profile is there enough to make a difference. Taste is lightly sweet and just a touch bitter. Nice offering.

Nice surprise from Cheap. I enjoyed this pilsner, definite personality in this brew. A bit more hoppy for a pils (but I liked that taste). Clean, crisp taste. Thanks again to cheap!

Bottle shared by a friend. Clear yellow pour with a medium white head. Malty nose with crisp noble hops. Crisp noble hops with a bit of malt and a bitter noble hop finish.

Clear golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is light, with grainy malts, sweetness, and some earthy hops. A bit of floral comes in the flavor but mostly earthy hops and light grain. Not much going on here but not offensive at all. Would be a great tailgating beer.
