3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 beastiefan2k (1894) - Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA - OCT 8, 2011
Had this on tap at the brewpub and currently out of the bottle. It was fantastic on tap and damn good out of the 12oz bottle. The bottle is not fresh but the only side effect is a very very large head. Foamy as heck but settles down rather fast. This also appears to be bottle conditioned, may be not. But it gets cloudier with the later pours (may be protein or something). Originally it is clear straw color. The beer smells of mineral and cut grass, lively feel. Mouthfeel is alive and tingle, evaporates off the back of the tongue. Taste is similarly clean and mineral. Fresh, crisp beer. Good job and apparently able to sit in the bottle for a while. Picked up in the discount bin at Wine and Cheese.

It poured a bright yellow color with a white head. The aroma was of bread with a hint of straw and skunk. The taste was of malt and a sharp hop character. A decent pilsener.

Light and refreshing. A good malty backbone with a bit of cereal grain flavor, blended with a decent amount of hops. Goes down easily, definitely a good beer for a hot summer day!

numerous bottles over the past 3 years while i lived and/or visited in the St Louis area. Let me tell you this, i love this beer! Pours lightly hazy from the bottle lite orange with a small soapy foamy white head around the rim of the glass. pretty sprtizy carbonation going on here but good for this style. spicy hops on the nose along with some pale grains, cereal, biscuit notes (bread). flavors of german spicy hops, nice lite toasted grains and grassiness. long spicy and grassy hops on the finish. I really dig this little beer. This beats 312 or Summertime for me on a hot humid summer day in St Louis.
