On tap. Poured a clear, straw-yellow color with a very large, white head of foam. It smelled floral, herbal and of toasted caramel. Spicy/herbal taste with a sweet caramel finish and mild bitterness.

Being labelled a pils it does not taste like one. It tastes good for a sort of pale ale with the overly tippy flavor and aroma but has the slight spice of a pils. However, I rated to style and it does not taste well as a Czech pils.

On-tap 9/6/2015 at Natty Greene’s Tavern, in North Attleboro, MA served in a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a light gold color, with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains lager yeast, grain, light caramelized malts and some hops.

T: The taste starts out bready with flavors of grain, lager yeast and a hearty but not too heavy malt character. The hops presence is mild but complementary and brings a decent balance. The after-taste is slightly bready.

M: Crisp and smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.

O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, it’s a decent beer but there are better choices within the style.

05/30/12 Great balance, Very refreshing. First sip was pretty assertive but got more friendly as we both got used to each other. Hope we cross paths again.

On tap at the Ballast Point Tasting Room and Kitchen.

Clear yellow-gold with a very good, semi-durable white head. Very good lacing

Feel: medium body; High-medium carbonation.

Smell: Nice mix of hops that dominate the malts, but there is a detectable brady malt base.

Taste: appropriate for style, although it has a lightfruitiness from, I guess, American hops.

O: a worthy American version of the style.
