This pours a pale gold with a 1 finger head of foam and again for a Notch beer, some very good lacing.
Aromas of spicy herbal hops are at the forefront. I get just a tad of a malt smell...bread? Maybe biscuit?
Wow, another brew with some great balance. Yeah, it’s biscuit for the malt profile, the hops are herbal alright, just a nice crisp spiciness that doesn’t go over the top. Swishing the beer in my mouth to get the ultimate experience of what a brew has to offer, I’m amazed that THIS is what I get in a 4% abv brew made in the US.
Nice lightish mouthfeel, the drinkability, at least for me, is through the roof.
Yikes, I love this beer!

16oz pour at Salty Pig. Hazy deep gold with zero head. Nose is neutral, grass, hay, slight honey. Flavor is grassy, malty, bread, lemon. Clean, grassy finish. Good.

A golden pils with a thin white head. In aroma, a corny grist malt with herbal notes, a bit strange. In mouth, a smooth chalky malt, grassy, grainy, just OK. On tap at Deep Ellum, Oct. 8 2011.

Pours deep gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention recedes to hug rim and skim surface. Sweet bread, caramel and mild saaz aromas. Medium bodied and slightly sour upfront turning to biscuit and bread before the dry, sweetly bitter hop finish.
