It takes the right ingredients, people and processes to nail the complex balance of two-row barley, zesty Saaz hops and lager yeast. Secondary fermentation creates natural carbonation that delivers soft notes of fresh-cut straw and flowering herbs. In the end, this bright and refreshingly clean American craft pilsner is our go-to when the sun is shining and makes us happy when skies are gray.

Reviewed from notes.
I poured this into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a nice golden clear yellow color with a one and a half finger white foamy head that must have maintained itself for a good full one and a half minutes before it started to slightly die at a decent pace.
The smell had the German pilsner malts coming through hard up front and then gently allowing a nice light spiciness coming through as it warmed a bit.
The taste was sweet and let the light spiciness come back again. There was no aftertaste.
On the palate, it sat pretty light and had a great sessionable quality running about it. The carbonation is there but not overbearing.
Overall, this is just another great beer made by an exceptional brewery. It makes me want to move back to Pennsylvania.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is grainy and bitter. Flavor is a very nice dry pils malt with a spice hop to round things out. Finish leaves some of that cracker malt on the tongue after the swallow. Good pils.

Draft at Churchkey. A decent enough example of the style, clan and crisp, and not too bitter.
