12oz bottle. A solid offering. Grassy, dry, with a crackery clean malt backdrop. Almost has a touch of lemony Sorachi Ace type of a feel..but I guess it is all Saaz. There is something not quite perfect about it...doesn't really have any nice lagering tone. Better than a typical US Pils, would like to try it on tap.

Tap @ Waldos KC. Slightly hazy, golden yellow appearance with a white head. Kind of a still, grainy, pils malty nose. Somewhat bitter, mildly hoppy, grainy pils flavor. Pretty tasty.

Shaker pint pour at BRGR in Prairie Village, Kansas. Pour is clear golden (a shade darker than a normal golden, not quite copper), with a nicely formed one inch pure white head. A couple of fine carbonation bubbles float there way to the top of the glass. Aroma is bready and crackery malt, along with a nice waft of earthy spicy Saaz hops. Nice balance on the nose. Taste is really nice balance between the clean crack and bready malt and the mildyly spicy earthy Saaz hops. Palate is medium to thin bodied, nice lifting carbonation and a clean crisp mineral finish. This was a really clean and tasty Pils. Nice to see it on draft nearby.

So I bought a growler earlier today, I was going to share it a party... well I did share it, the thing is I was the only one drinking it. So 8 hours later I am on my last glass. Its a well made pils, nothing overall spectacular but its got the right parts. Pours is a clear bland golden, has a nice head with the right pour. All around (aroma and flavor) its thick white bread malts and very strong, earthy, and bitter (for European) hops. They are very green and dry hops.. This works well with the long dry finish of the beer. So bottom line, clean white bread malts, long bitter Euro hop finish. I went through the whole growler so that says how much I like it.
