Draft at WCBF 2008. Light grassy hop aroma. Gold color with white head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Flavor is pale malt dominated by grassy hop. A very good pilsner (so why is it classed as premium lager?).

Another good bready fragrance on a brew. On the palate its friendly at first, then it turns on you at the end with a near acrid character. Some bitter pilsner linger in the finish. A little coarse.

Draught at Gordon Biersch, Burbank, California. Ruby/brown, small head. Full caramelly, fudgey malt flavour topped by light grassy hops. Medium-full bodied with medium bitterness.
This beer would’ve been even more enjoyable if it wasn’t for the fact the my 32-year old colleague were refused being served, despite showing a valid international drivers license. Apparently looking 30+ years old and being in posession of an ID that is proving it was not enough to convince the manager that he was not underage. Needless to say we all left our beers on the counter and turned our back at this place without ever returning.

Pours yellow with a medium white head. Sweet malt and grass. Medium body. Hides the 7% pretty well. Flavor is malt, some hops, hay, and sweet. The mild hops are most noticeable in the finish. Decent.
