a: This was a clear, very pale straw yellow color. It was served to me with a short, fizzy cap.
s: Moderate amounts of spicy hops and some biscuit.
t: On the mild side, but respectable. Spicy, dry hops balanced by biscuits and grains. Clean with no off flavors.
m: Fizzy carbonation and a slick body.
d: Pretty good pils, a pleasant surprise.

Served on tap at the Big River Bar & Grille (Disney) in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
A: Pours a crystal clear golden yellow in color with moderate to significant amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall white head that slowly reduces to a thick film covering the entire surface of the beer with a thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate lacing is observed.
S: There is a light to moderate amount of graininess, moderate amounts of grassy hops, and light hints of citrus hops.
T: The flavors of the grainy malts combine nicely with the bitterness of grassy and citrus hops. There is a light almost spiciness in the finish with a light amount of lingering bitterness.
M: On the lighter side of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp.
O: Very easy to drink, very enjoyable, and quite refreshing. This is a sessionable beer that I would be happy to have a couple at one sitting. In the hot summer weather in Florida, this beer is easy to drink and the lower ABV is appreciated.

Review from notes from my trip to Florida.
#1 of the night. Poured into a pint glass.
3.5 A: Came without a head. Super clear golden yellow.
3.5 S: Clean and grainy. Light grassy hops.
3.5 T: Incredibly clean. Light graininess and light neutral maltiness. Just a touch of grassy hop flavor.
3.5 M: Lighter body. Good moderate carbonation. Crisp and super smooth.
4.0 D: Incredibly drinkable. So super clean. Could be a bit tastier, but definitely possible to drink a few in a night.

I had this beer on-tap at the Big River Grille & Brewing Works in May 2010. It was a good beer for a hot Florida night because it was light, refreshing, and easy to drink not to mention the low abv. The beer poured a light to medium yellow with a small amount of white head. It had good carbonation and an earthy aroma. The beer had a slight spicy taste to it and was smooth to the taste. Again, a good florida beer.

A respectable brew. Sharp grassy hoppiness with some light citrus/grapefruit. and some graininess. Finishes decently bitter. Light body and color, some slight astringency. Not particularly challenging or interesting, but good, refreshing drinkability.

A - A pale golden color... A faint frothy latte like white head quickly fades leaving a delicate but enticing lacing... Moderate carbonation throughout...
S - Mild, but pleasant... Grainy with european hops...
T - Slightly sweeter than most traditional german pilsners... European hops... Mild grains... Crust... Perhaps the slightest hint of ginger...
M - Crisp and clean... Light to medium bodied... A very lush and enjoyable feel... Easy drinking...
D - A very mild, but still respectable pilsner...
