12 oz bottle via trade with Frumpty (thanks!). Pours a clear blonde color with a large foamy white head. Nice Pilsner aroma with subtle notes of bananna/yeast, grass and possibly saaz hops? Interesting flavors. Tastes more like a fizzy Hefe than a Pilsner. A bit of an acidic burn in the finish and the hops do come through in the aftertaste. A bit too carbonated.

Extremely pale in color. Sort of a grassy earth aroma. Flavor is nice. Well balanced. Mildly spice hopped. I wish it was more malty. A little light but that’s what you get with a pilsener. I’d drink a lot of these.

Straw yellow, small head on top. Very light lemon citrus taste that lasts medium long. very light grass nose.

Draft (in plastic cup) at Phillies game. Aroma was light and grassy-citrus. Sweet taste with nice mild hop flavor and just a slight malty backing. Pretty good for the style, though I think Victory’s Prima Pils and Sly Fox’s pils are just a bit better. Still, for the style this is not bad - especially considering the conditions. Will have to try again in a proper environment.

Bottle. Very light yellow color to the body, and clear, not that great of a color, but the head is properly formed, fluffy and white. Light grassy lemon and wheat and hay in the nose. Very crisp up front on the tongue, promising, I would say, but the flavor, when I’m expecting something sweet and crisp and lively, is more of a butane and fuesal sort of flavor. Finish is better, though, with a nice but mild crispness and a light dryness.

Clear straw pour with a lightly retentive head. Lemons and mash to the nose. The flavors are much the same, not very complex, with a dry earthen hop back. There is a candy lemon drop effervescence about the brew, with a definite lingering peppered hop back-palate.
