Boring yellow, but with good dose of foam (like the picture, actually. Malty, biscuity with crisp, celery-like hops. Overall needs a malt boost.

So this is a Dortmunder. Nice hops and gold (not yellow!) color. Medium head and minimal lacing. While crisp and refreshing, this is by no means GB's best beer, if you are getting a GB, go for the Marzen or Dunkles.

Dark yet light-bodied, and I had no problems driking a huge mug of this. Had a nice aftertaste that didn't wear thin. Surprisingly smooth considering there is no filtration involved.

This is a great benchmark for other pilsners to live up to. The hardest thing is choosing between this and the GB Marzen.

Well-rounded and smooth Marzen for my money. I haven't had many Marzens but if this is the standard I am impressed.
