Keg picked up at StateLine.. Looks like your typical pale lager.. Clearish yellow color, decent little head. Nose of some light flower hoppiness. Taste is pretty solid for the style. Light and flower hoppiness, very drinkable for beer lovers or not. Crisp and clean! Overall: One of the best lagers available

pinkie (145) - New York, USA - JUN 19, 2013
Pours clear and sweet yellow with a faint head that fell immediately to a few big bubbles and a film on top. Nice lace. Delicious pilsner nose. First a little yeasty bite with a hint of sour, then lemon and grass. Fruity, earthy and herbal. Bready, cracker malt brings it home. Taste is so well done. Thin malt sweetness and juicy lemon with light lemon peel wash over the palate effortlessly. Earthy, round and floral. The malt has perfect balance alongside the tart fruit. The pale grain and wheat take over on the back palate for a thirst quenching dryness and the hops come up for a shy bitter that lingers just until your next sip. Fantastic and floral as it fills up your senses in the aftertaste. Ample carbonation and a thin body.

Troegs never fails to delight. This is a substantial summer beer that made the most of the minimal and simple aspects of a pils and came up with a beer that was feather light on palate. It had plenty of character and was delicate yet firm. Simple and easy to drink. Before you know it you will have had 2 or 3 of these.
