A German style pilsner with German yeast, German Noble Hops and 10 percent Durst Pilsner Malt. This lager is fermented at 55 degrees for one week and lagered (German for stored) for at least two more weeks. The sharp hop bite up front is intended to keep the palette clean; giving the beer high drink ability. There is no after taste, the finish turns right off. This is the perfect session beer. Pairs great with spicy foods.

Bottle: Pale, lightly hazed yellow-gold with a puffy white head. Milk, grains aroma. Taste is nicely bitter and creamy pils malt. Really quite good....a little surprised at the low ratings on this one.

Bottle. Creamy barley malt and hay aroma. Golden yellow with giant white head. Moderately sweet milky barley malt, and moderately bitter quinine/tin and hay flavor. Good body. A solid German pilsner.

Bottle @ the Great Best Wesern Las Cruces tasting of 2013 with yarn connoisseur, Rachel. Pours a clear yellow appearance with a pearl white head. Really rich pale grainy malty, big straw, quite herbal aroma. A touch sweet, a bit corny, rich straw, herbal/floral, somewhat spicy hoppy, straw flavor. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is corn malt and honey. Thin mouthfeel with corn malt and skunk. Not much going on with this one.

Bottle from Liz. Pours hazy light gold with a slight bubbly white head. Noble hop aroma. Near med body; mild carb. Flavor is lightly bready with some grassy hop. Crisp. Clean. Pretty nice.
