A golden pils with a thin white head. In aroma, crisp malt with grassy saaz hops, ok. In mouth, decent pils with mineral notes, grassy, saaz hops, nice. On tap at Empire Brewfest 2014.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Sparrow, 5/11/14

Aroma: The nose is light and malty, some bread, grains, and some grassy hop notes
Appearance: Pours a clear gold color with a thin white head that leaves some spotty lace
Flavor: More hoppy flavor, with some bready/grainy sweetness, and a spicy, grass bitterness
Palate: The feel is light and clean, crisp and easy drinking, with an average-to-lively carbonation
Overall Impression: This is a decent looking and tasting beer. It drinks pretty nicely, and works well. Not a ton unique going on here, but it has that crisp/clean feel you would hope for from this style. Would drink this again.

Tastes pretty much what the name says. Wild hops adds something to the typical golden lager. Tap at DC Beer festival.

12oz bottle. Filtered tan orange body. Foamy, creamy white head. Belma hops eh..hmm, sort of like Cluster with just a hint more tropical tones. Still has that husky, earthy tone. Not really that impressive of an offering, has some mild buttery cardboard action. Approaching tolerable, but sort of a failure.

Party leftovers: Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is grass, pine, bread. Taste is nice and crisp. Some light sustained hop bitterness. Nice bready backbone. Quite good for Saranac.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a clear yellow color with a medium sized foamy yellow-white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was crisp, fruity, citric and almost perfumey hops with an undertone of sweet honey. The flavor was malty honey, ab it of bread a bit sour, faintly citric and perfumey. Medium finish and medium body. Ok.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium sized fizzy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of pale, buttery malts and spicy hops. The taste is pale malts, grassy hops. Thin bodied.
