Poured a hazy yellow, little head. A hoppier version of a pilsner. Mine didn’t taste the same way as everybody elses.

Bottle. It's not very good. Golden in color with an ok two finger head. Aroma is a weak grain smell. Taste is just chemical bitterness. Just didn't care for it.

Clear gold pour. It smells of grainy malt. The flavor is of sweet, grainy, bready malt with some mild hops bitterness. Clean taste. I could have done with more hops.

Bread/yeast smell when poured. Not much of a palate and appearance is a little weak. Tastes good with very fine elements of citrus. Muted hops accent the traditional pilsener elements. If I imagined an Americanized version of a pilsener this would be it.

Tap at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Grassy nose, light lemony notes. Very fine seltzer-like carbonation. Minerally finish but kind of watery. Not really a lot going on, just too watery and overly carbonated.

Rather weak pils, overly fruity and sweet with a light noble bite and a bready, muddled finish. Lots of apple esters and cereal grains, far more than expected, and the floral bitterness on the back end never overtakes the growing yeastiness that closes out the pint. Fades tangy and dirty, lacking the needed bright, grassy pilsner notes you want. Bready nose, and the pour comes out okay, a bold, clear yellow-gold but lacking in head or lace. Good bubbly pils feel, but otherwise not a good take on the style.

Despite the low ratings here (lager bias?) I think this is pretty great. First I love hallertauer, and this one has a really great hallertauer nose (although the cattiness bit made me think saaz for a second). Dry and light, crisp, as it should be. Perhaps slightly under-hopped at the finish, so it could use just a bit of a bitter thump. Pretty solid though.

355ml bottle at Matt’s. Pours a clear pale golden with a white head. Aroma is crispy, malty, classic for Pilsners. Same taste. It is a quite good lager, if you like them, of course.
