On tap at the Trail's End Taproom. Pours a clear, ruby-brown color, with a small, bubbly, beige head. The aroma is butterscotch, damp grass, and rye bread. Syrupy sweet, with a light, dank bitterness. Medium body, with a sticky, oily mouthfeel. This is a mediocre amber, at best.

From May 2007
This one pours from 22oz bottle a clear straw gold with a large head of foam that settles down but stays for the entire session and has good lacing.
The smell is of malt and it's very sweet on the nose.
The taste on first sip is strong on the sweet malt with some earthiness and a touch of bitterness near and through the finish.
I think that it's similar to a lot of American Pilsners I've had in the past(New Belgium Blue Paddle comes to mind) but it lacks a certain oomph that would make it stand out.
A few more sips in and I'm getting a "salty" flavour that I'm not really enjoying all that much. Hmm....pretty ordinary; I note that the best by date has March notched and a pen mark where 2007 would be so maybe I'll have to try again with a fresher bottle if I can find one. As is, it's pretty ordinary.
