Legend has it in 1840, a monk smuggled lager yeast into Bohemia, setting the stage for the first pilsner; even now the tradation continues. We brew this pilsner with the noblest of saaz and to this we add premium German pilsner malt. This rich crisp taste has a finish so smooth that it deserves an encore, PROST!!

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant golden color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered forever and left great lacing. The aroma was crisp perfumey and grassy hops with a tangy undertone and a hint of black pepper. The flavor was bready and tangy with citric, grassy and perfumey hops. Medium length finish. medium body. Spot on for style.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 12/8/2014. Pours fairly crystal clear bright golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Moderate earthy/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good balance and robustness of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Nicely clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast ester notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a good German pilsner style. All around good balance and robustness of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsner glass.
The appearance was a decent light clear yellow color with fast rising carbonation filling a one finger white foamy head. There is some lacing but generally, it slides and doesn’t stick.
The smell had some light Pilsner malts with a nice crisp sweetness about it.
The taste was slightly sweet but crisp.
The palate, it sat pretty light and showed a great deal of sessionability about it. The carbonation was fairly sharp but not overly done.
Overall, not a bad pilsener. I’d probably have it again, but probably not seek it out either.

This pils poured a slightly cloudy, very light yellow colour with a quickly living, bright white head. Scents include honey, malt and bread. First sip was lightly carbonated, slightly thin with flavours of honey, light corn and cereal. Finish is grainy with light hop/bitterness lingering on the palate.

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small bit of head that disappears quickly. Aroma of light citrus hops and a little biscuit malt. Taste is very light bitter. Small citrus hops. Little bit of a lime taste. Light bodied and thin textured. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, it’s ok. Nothing really special. I’m still yet to find a Dundee beer that really stands out. If nothing else, it’s a good intro to craft for BMC drinkers.
