A cross between a German and Czech Pilsner. Brewed with pilsner and Munich malt with Hallertau, Tettnang, Northern Brewer and Saaz hops. This beer has a bready malt flavor with a grassy hope aroma. You may often find its namesake, a regular customer, having a pint at our bar.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 10/5/12, 5.2% ABV
Aroma: This beer has a light nose with grainy notes and some light grass
Appearance: It pours a clear gold color with a white head and medium lace
Flavor: The taste is mostly bread and grass, it is light sweet, and light-medium bitter
Palate: The body is pretty light, it feels crisp and clean, and has a smooth carbonation
Overall Impression: Overall, I thought that this was a solid Pils with a decent feel and good components. It wasn't an absolute standout, but it was a solid example of the style, and a more then drinkable offering.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden color with a large creamy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of fruity, floral and herbal hops. The taste is herbal hops and pale malts. Medium bodied.
