Delicate and crisp, this award-winning Northern German-style Pils is alive with the sound of music. A prelude of aromatic Saaz hops gives way to subtle malt flavors, crescendoing perfectly to a lemony dry finish. Encore?

12 ounce bottle into pilsner glass, best by 8/16/2011. Pours hazy golden straw color with a nice 2 finger dense white head with fantastic retention that reduces to a thick cap that lasts. Nice soapy lacing on the glass, with plenty of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of big lemon, grass, orange, biscuit, floral, and herbal hops. Very nice aromas with good strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, grass, floral, pepper, bread, light tartness, and herbal hops. Fair amount of herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pepper, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a while. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly sticky and crisp mouthfeel. Very drinkable and smooth, with no alcohol in the taste or finish as expected at 5.4%. Overall this is a fantastic pilsner, and definitely one of the best I have had. Very drinkable, and full of nice hoppy flavors with good balance. This held up surprisingly well considering the bottle dating.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 02/02/2012. This beer is a clear pale yellow color with a medium fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Short stringy lacing. Aroma of hops and sweet malt. Light body with a Saaz hops character and notes of bready malt and yeast. The finish is mildly hoppy with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Decent Pils overall.

Received in trade from mdaschaf, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a crystal clear golden yellow color with a good two finger bone white head that slowly recedes but leaves much lace as she fades. Smells of sweet bready husky pilsner malt with just enough spicy grassy hops to keep this from cloying. Sweet bready pilsner malt flavor balanced with spicy grassy hops. Very dry finish with sharp spicy bite. Medium to thin body with a spirited level of carbonation and sweet honey like mouthfeel. The greatness here is in the subtlety of the flavors and how well the hops and malts contrast each other. Nice nice drinker here.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Pours hazy light golden with small white head. Well carbonated, some lacing, medium body, and sour aroma. Taste is sour/bitter hops. This is not good.

12 oz. bottle. Pours pale yellow with a small white head. The aroma is resin and earthy hops, some lemon, and hay. The flavor is very bitter. The palate is astringent, grainy, and acidic. The aftertaste is long and bitter. Overall, flavorful for a pilsener, with big hop flavor and aroma.

Bottle from Beers of the World. Bright yellow-gold with a tal, fine head. Fragrant aroma of noble saaz: grassy, citrus, plus some light bready malts. Flavor is very hoppy, lemony, and very bitter. Light malts with a bit of bread, but the hops are leading the way. light, clean, crisp, and not too much sweetness. Works well in the Northern German style. Nice. Wildly bitter.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of jleblanc. Pours a clear yellow with a lacing white head. A little flowery hops in the nose. Medium body, sweet good malts with a slight whiff of diacetyl. The solid Saaz do come through, but this beer still has a distinct American character. 150311

On tap at stags head as part of taster. pours straw yellow with bright head. taste is slight bitter, slight hop and is very clean and crisp. good for non-beer people coming into this bar but a tad boring for myself.
