COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
Ingredients: 2 row German pale malt; Czech Saaz, German Northern Brewer hops.
Heaps o’ hops are hiding under the full, frothy head of this elegant Pils. All German malt subtleties linger beneath a long dry finish of this classy quencher.

Poured out of a bottle to a medium bodied head. Mild beer aroma with a strong Pilsner taste.

pours medium gold with a thick white head that settles nicely into a thick film. aroma is light and floral...pleasantly hopped, mildly spicy. first couple sips of this brew suggested a bit of skunk and a bit extreme on the bitterness, but after the palate adjusted and it got a moment to breathe, it drank nicely. still very bitter, there is a good level of floral and citrus hops, hint of malt and corn...solid for the style. palate is well above average for the style...good level of creaminess...lingering bitterness. not my favorite style, but a fine rendition nonetheless.

i don’t think that this beer really requires any kind of explanation...it’s just universally the best year-round Pilsener brewed in America.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2013 Really diggin’ this beer. Love the mix of hops and malt in the aroma and flavor. I will definitely be buying this again when it gets warmer out.

I agree with other reviewers, this is the East’s best pilsener. Delicate flavor, subtle hops in the finish, great mouthfeel. A beer like this is tough to pull off - there’s nowhere for imperfections to hide. Mellower than West Coast offerings. A classic, clean pils that I honestly prefer over the imports I can get.

Excellent beer with a mild aroma. Smooth taste with a hint a lemon. Overall quality throughout.

Great pils, though not my favorite style. Mild malt and hops. Earthy and a little lemon. Nose and taste are balanced well.

Best US pils available on the easy coast. If you know of better let me know. Need a break now and again from all the hop thrashing I've been doing to my tongue with mostly IPAs and DIPAs! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle at home. Pours a classic yellow with lively head. Bready aroma with assertive earthy hop flavors. Dry finish. Extra points for a well-brewed beer.
