Straw colored with fresh hop aroma. Clean, bitter refreshing taste. Hop heaven. Strikingly good pilsner.

Gold colored. Malty aroma. Plenty of hops, slightly bitter. Dry finish. A very nice pilsener.

Wow, this was better than I was expecting! A nice golden color with a white head. The smooth, crisp taste of a classic pils with a nice hoppiness to it that most pilseners seem to lack. It is not overpowering or strongly bitter, but takes chances and leaves you happy that you picked this one. My favorite pils so far.

Huge, lacey, white head, sparkling foam.
Aroma has citrus notes, lemon zest, flowers, and pineapple.
Delightfully light texture, long, welcome finish. Truly this must be the thinking man's "lawnmower beer". Possesses a certain zing that reminds me somehow of Duvel. I'm normally an ale man, but I would never pass up on
this pilsner. Are the fine folks of Downington, PA aware that among their modest ranks walk these brewing gods disguised as mortals?

UPDATED: AUG 25, 2005 Very solid Pils, can understand why it is at the top of the Pils pile. Very smooth and easy to drink. If this was what other light looking beers tasted like, I would understand the appeal. Easy to go down, I regret that I only bought a single. Delicious frothy head. I can imagine enjoying this during a nice summer barbeque.

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2003 12 oz bottle poured a crystal clear golden color with a nice head, storm of bubbles, and very nice lace. The aroma is very hoppy and flowery. The flavor is very hoppy and has a solid malt backbone. Almost a buttery flavor in there somewhere. The palate is perfect. This is good.

Bottle - 355ml. Hazy blond body with a lasting white foamy head. Fresh, complex hoppy aroma with flowery, herbal, coriander and honeyish hints. Its sharp hoppy taste carries citrusy, malty, and coriander notes. It ends with a long, robust, dry bitter/herbal finish. Awesome!

Pours hazy deep gold with a quick dissipating head.
Smells...mmmh hoppy, saaz hops all over the place with lemon and white grapes.
Taste is crisp dry saaz hops and lemon. Great crisp, dry finish.
Body is near perfect per style and quite refreshing. This a a brew I hold up as an example to macro-swillers that Americans actually make better lagers than the "king of beers", seriously, they need convincing sometimes.
Drinkability is great and the flavor never dissapoints. This along with Hacker-Pschorr Hefe are my official lunch brews.
