UPDATED: JAN 3, 2011 Bottle and for what its worth i think this is a dam fine pils. Pours a golden orange body with a white head. Citric, grassy and earthy notes. Dry and bitter finish but still crisp clean and satisfying. Some grain and hay but still nice caramel and a tea like bitterness maybe even a bit tannic. I’m a fan.

My favorite pils to date. Clear crisp, hopped, citrus flavor. It’s a beautiful beer to look at: slightly hazey,bright gold with a thick, blonde head and firm carbonation. I would say this is a pilsner set apart from many others, and a delicious beer regardless.

Pale saffron body with a one-finger light-tan head that gradually reduces to a thin cap.
Husky malt with a very herbal hop sharpness on top. Some lemongrass and floweriness.
Grassy hops are at the fore here. The herbal quality runs over the light biscuity malt flavor before melding into a refreshing bitterness. The finish maintains this raw hop bitterness and introduces a sweeter malt flavor, perhaps honey-like. Some lemon zest on the sides of the tongue.
Lively carbonation, light body, and extremely refreshing. Smooth in the mouth and very easy to drink. This is the Reality Czeck of German Pilseners.

Pours pretty clear, little yellow in there, small head. Smells very refreshing, hoppy. Taste is extremely crisp with a strong burst of hops. Leaves the mouth feeling refreshed and energized. Delicious beer.

Pint glass, beer was on ice for several hours, hot/humid day. I had it with tacos with a smoke jalapeno sauce.
Very clear yellow/pale color and a a finish to match. Aroma is dominated by citrus and pine - excellent. May be slightly over carbonated and a little thin but I’m reaching because this beer is very very good. It may be the best pils I have ever had. Anyway, nice hop aroma and flavor but very little bitterness. Wonderful pilsener and perfect summer brew that goes down really easy. Its a light easy drinking pils thats great with food. Like the beer equivalent of a fine dry chardonnay.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2011 Poured from bottle into Pilsner glass.
Clear, bright gold with a stark white head.
Aroma of fresh cut grass, straw and some spiciness.
Backbone of fruit (apple, pear?), bread, grass and straw which is quickly overtaken by a very spicy finish. Leaves a persistent bitter aftertaste.
Moderate carbonation (but lower than many Pils; I like it) and relatively smooth light to medium body. Finishes exceedingly dry.
Damn good Pils; in fact, maybe the best. What else is there to say?
