Very good, stable white head over cloudy yellow beer. Hops, fresh ones, as a bale opening. Smooth & delicate, fellow taster says. Hop onslaught, yet again - delicate. Bittereness follows, floral, fresh hopcones. Light, quite hopoil slick. The bitterness gradually diminishes but remains throughout to a certain extent. Undeniably one of the very best Pilseners ever sampled. The Simcoe notwhitstanding, the hoppy character is that of noble EU hops but missing the overwhelming raw bitterness an overdose of these usually displays. Wow!
