nice hops!! excellent taste and smell,a pleasnt suprise and i am damn happy i tried it

Nose of toasted malt any piney perfumed hops. Pours from the bottle a sparkling light golden. The large frothy/rocky head is fully lasting with stellar lacing. The flavor has exceptional balance and finish. Great depth for this style. The soft light and smooth body finishes clean. Victory proves that BIG beers do indeed exist in the style of Pilsener.

Pale caramel gold, white head that settles away fairly quickly. Pungent, spicy herbal hops, unctuous, and toothy. A bit of mint. A little dill. The smell of tomato plants in the sun. A nice tart lager note that blends happily with the garden quality of the hops. Full chewy hop character that feels charged with little bits of electricity, elegantly blended with a surprisingly big malt structure. A lingering cinnamon note. Very hop forward, but with a rare balance and grace. After several weeks of some kind of sinus bug totally killing my ability to smell, this is a welcome way to celebrate the return of scent, glorious scent! Thanks so much Alaskanwarren for this fine beer!

Not quite bright on the pour, it sits quietly with just a sprinkling of fine carbonation dancing in uniform streams up to a tight, compact white crest atop. The head lasts the distance, a fine lace left in its wake. The body a misted orange gold. Soft zest of lemon and lime comes through on the nose under some clean, dusty grain, chaff and toothpick, and bright Saaz hops, very nice. Saaz hop dominated palate. Rough and mostly dry in back, very peppery and herbaceous. It peaks on the swallow and drops off with great haste, a bitter edge that grips the mouth well. The body is light but I would call it anything but delicate. Its got a reserved citrus fruit sweetness that adds a degree of tang to it, the malt profile being dry, dusty and just a little gritty. Impeccably balanced with little inklings of nuances that keep it interesting. Lightly floral, raspy, piney, the carbonation just enough to give it bounce. I love this beer. It isn’t classic Pilsner but a modern twist of it that does stands alone. Wonderfully refreshing stuff!! (12Fl.Oz, Enjoy by: 21/11/11, Mane Liquor, Belmont)

UPDATED: JUL 30, 2011 on tap. pours slight hazy gold color with white head. nose of spicey, grassy, and leathery hops. very clean flavor profile with spicy hops cutting through. Big pepper and grassy bitterness. this is one solid very bitter and refreshing pils.

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2007 Clear golden bronze, large white head with decent lacing and retention. Aroma is a boatload of grassy/spicy hops with fresh bread. It’s big for a pilsner, but stays within the limits of the style. I don’t think I’d change anything... if it lacks anything it’s a ’wow factor.’

Nice yellow gold color, but I could use a bit more head. Excellent session beer and very refreshing after mowing the lawn!

12oz bottle. Hazy and golden with a kind of dull appearance. Strong malt nose with a good dose of grassy hops. Crisp and dry. Citrus hoppy with a sweet malt character.
