Oct 29, 2006 The bottle poured clear, light straw color, with a slight tint of green. The half inch white head quickly disspated but held a thin head. Mild aroma of lemons, grass and yeast. The flavor is lighlty peppery, as a pils, with yeast in the foreground and well balanced hops. Like an upgraded PBR out of a bottle. Very drinkable.

Aug 16, 2006 Brewed in Berkeley: I’ve seen this one for quite awhile. With it being higher priced than most of the beers in this group, I wanted to see why it was more expensive. Luckily, I found a place where I could just buy a single bottle. Aroma is grassy, slightly skunky and malty. Appearance is a light yellow color, great carbonation and nice lacing. Mouthfeel is light and crisp. Flavors are also grassy, very minimally bitter, slightly malty. Overall a good, refreshing summertime beer. If it weren’t so overpriced, I’d probably buy more!

Jul 28, 2006 Bottled in Berkeley. Light straw color with a nice white head. Aroms is fairly skunky with some grassy notes and slightly malty. Fairly light and smooth malty taste with a crisp hop finish. I agree with Naven that it is very similar to Pilner Urquel.

Jul 26, 2006 Unfortunately this was served to me warm at the Hotel HP Salzburg and it did not even quench my thirst. It was a non-descriptive lighter tasting pils with little characteristics to remember it by.

Jul 25, 2006 tap. refreshing in this heat. Aromas of a typical European Pils, perhaps less pronounced in the wheat department.
Fairly well balanced between malts and hops, a hint of grains.
It is lacking the metallic taste that many European Pilseners have. All in all very drinkable but not spectacular.

Jul 4, 2006 My bottle says it was bottled in Berkeley, but it screams Europe. When I opened it, it smelled like a skunk had just done his thing right on my face. Actually, it was a little overbearing. This beer pours divine, but it pretty much tastes like a Pilsner Urquel, which is fine enough, just not my cup of tea at the moment.
