UPDATED: OCT 15, 2008 Golden with lite head. Notes of orange and malts in the aroma. Notes of sweet malts and citrus in body. Very smooth front to finish, with a refreshing full flavour.

Bottled. Hazy pale golden,brief head. Papery nose. Dryish with clean mouthfeel and ligt body. Grassy hops mixes with metal. Medium bitterness. Dry and crisp as a pils should be, but the metal and paper prevents me from enjoying it.

11.2oz - Williams F1 sponsor, so i had to try it out. Fairly pedestrian German lager, bast of hops after smooth malt. Indistinguishable.

On Tap at the Alexandra, Derby 12/12/2006 Floral aroma. Clear golden coloured and hoppy with a crisp and dry full malt finish.

Bottle. Light golden colour with a nice big mostly diminishing white head. Grassy and malty aroma with some hoppiness. Flavour is nice and crispy, some maltiness, bit grassy with bitter hops. Dry finish with some bitterness.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2008 Bottle 0.33 / 0.5 l. Tried it out yesterday and sadly cannot say anything about it. Nothing stuck in my mind about this beer. Have to try it again. Re-rate: Quite harsh grassy bitterness. A bit rude, not my favourite pils. Re-rate #2 (orig 2.6): Taste changes, now I find this very attractively hoppy, yet maybe a bit unbalanced.

Draft at Capital Ale House Innsbrook. Very pale straw, decent head. Aroma gently floral, nice. Flavor was initially of clean, honey accented malts, with a brisk floral hop finish. Balanced. Crisp. Quite enjoyable.

This was a above average pilsner. It was steal the glass night at Capitol Ale House in Richmond, Va. The color was a clear straw with a modest head. The crisp taste was one of it strongest atributes. This medium body beer would be welcome any time.
