Clear pale golden pour with a medium thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Fruity and malty aroma with mild hops in the background. Light body with flavors of roast malt, mild floral hops and fruity yeast. The finish is clean with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at The Ohio Taproom. Clear pale golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Floral hops, malt and fruit in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hop, fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity with a mild hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can, very clear pale yellow, rapidly fading white head. Lean brisk pils nose but mostly a neutral olfactory. Not as much sharp bitter pils bite at first. pretty good carbonation. Yes, thru the middle the taste remains reserved and easy to deal with. Lacks tendency of most domestic pils to be over the top in sharpness. Towards the end I'm digging this; it certainly has the feel of a real euro pils yet its well behaved and natural in its own way. Ends with a note of refreshment and somewhat, satisfaction. Better than expected.
