A crisp, hoppy take on the original session beer.

Gather your friends, pack the gear, and head out to wherever the day may take you. A midday go-to, Nooner is our take on the classic German-style pilsner—one of the original session beers. Nooner is easy drinking yet packed with the big flavor of spicy and floral whole-cone hops. Its brilliant golden color begs you to take a sip and sink your taste buds into an extremely welcoming beer, full of flavor and balanced by a crisp, dry finish.

Tap at Keyaki Spring 2015. Hoppy, peppery nose, crisp malt, crackers. Nice citrus hop flavor with crisp malt. A well done American pils. Very peppery and crisp.

On tap at a local bar. Gold color. Very well hopped, to the point I might have put it into the Czech pils category. Bitter flavor and bitter, grassy finish. I liked this.

Pours gold into a Sam glass. Bright white head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet caramel aromas. Medium bodied with sweet hay, bread and caramel upfront turning to bitter earth in the lasting finish.

[2/14/15] Draught at Sierra Nevada Torpedo Room in Berkeley. Clear golden. Nice aroma of grassy hops and some lager yeast. Flavor has some sweetish bready malt, a bit of lager yeast and decent grassy bitterness. Quite light-bodied. Refreshing.

A few 12oz bottles. Poured a clear golden yellow color with a nice white head. Aroma was light biscuit, grassy notes. Flavor was well made, crisp, enjoyable pilsener.

Bottle. Light lemon, barley malt and green hay aroma. Golden yellow with giant white head. Lightly sweet milky lemon, barley malt and moderately bitter herbal quinine flavor. Okay.
