Bottle. Not a big fan of this style but for a pilsener, not bad. Clean, golden color, what you would expect from a pilsener. The aroma is like most traditional, american pilseners. Had a nice bitter flavor that would have been better on a hot summer day. Recommened at least once.

3 week old bottle from mixed 12 A: Poured 1/2 of thick foam atop a pale brassy gold body with very active carbonation. Head fell to a ring and pad, leaving sheets of lace. S: Very herbal hay and grass scent with just a hint of sweet bread dough. T: Hoppy with herbs, grass and a hint of lemon. Bitterness is light with a honey note to balance. M: Light and smooth textured with soft, coating carbonation. O: Very nice hoppy pils. If they sold this on its own I'd buy a 6 pack.

The 12 oz. bottle came out of New Belgium’s Folly 12 pack. Doubt I would have tried it otherwise, just not my style. Poured into a globe glass with a decent appearing golden yellow color. Very little head and what there was promptly thinned out. Attractive bubbling though. Small nose, hay and grass. Taste of grain, water, nothing extraordinary. Reminds me of a big brew light beer. Maybe I am spoiled by the more challenging beers.

Sample at SBWF 2016. A bit hazy golden with a white head. Aroma and taste of bread, grass, light fruit and some hops. Fairly light and with a medium bitter finish.

Looking forward to trying this bottle, never saw it before round here. Looks pale clear and refreshing enough. Smells like its gonna a be a strong tasting pilsner, and it is. Lots of sharper old country pilsner effects. Good sizzle as well which seems to make it more enjoyable. Getting better as the session continues. Finishes with a decent enough pilsner kick.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp crackery malt and grassy hops. Flavour is crisp, with grassy hops, biscuity malt and bready notes. Clean and decently balanced. Solid.

Tap at Antenna. Nice biscuit malt nose, noble hops. A bit sweet, biscuity, cream, with herbs a light bitterness. A good fresh pils. Not so exciting, but good enough.
