4.44/5  rDev +15.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
appearance: very clear, pours thin almost watery, but gains color at the head,
a thin white gold , clear, fine, sharp.

smell: faint grain, hops, a dry wheat, oats maybe. not strong nose, but as is the style.

taste: like flatbeard, and grain, the oats come through again, only slight in the taste.
has a good sharp start, perfect pilsner range of flavour, no offensive over done notes of wheat like some offerings of similar style.

mouth:
crisp, but not long lasting on the sharp side, it levels down to a nice wide carb letting those notes of grain really come out with the after taste, its dry but not overly. refreshing mouth, doesnt leave a dry mouth, but still cuts like its dry pils.

overall:
its great. I had this once before but from a can and on the move, fishing i think.
so naturally it wasnt the best being served all wrong and warm even.
but it was good enough to make me want to try it properly.
and now that fishing season is over, I can fully enjoy this round pilsner,
with its airey color and its crisp grainey range.
one of the better pilsners available where i live.

Green-hued straw color. Mild chill haze. Excellent frothy head that never recedes entirely. Chunky lacing in the form of streaks and ring lace.

Mostly grainy nose with a mild floral hop touch.

Very thin body, higher carbonation makes for a bad start, but the flavor is decent with a more malty (less grainy) up front taste. There’s a light creaminess. The finish becomes mildly bitter and leaves a moderate aftertaste.

Its a good pilsner. Its what you'd expect; maybe even a little better than that. Its really smooth and easy to drink. Almost no bitterness. Give it a try.

Great beer. I'm from the eastern half of the United States but I ski in British Columbia semi-frequently. I always make a point to have one of these every time I'm in BC. I have yet to find anything similar or comparable available on my side of the US.

Had two of em in a row, poured in a pint glass, after a moderate day of yard work in the sun - quenching for sure but, non existence on the smell..perhaps the yard work with dust, pollen etc sent my sniffer for a loop(?) and there's a more inviting smell within this beer but I couldn't find it. Wet grass with malt biscuit undertones and a trace of piney hops? Dunno.
Color is a soothing gold/straw hue with evident, albeit, minimal carbonation even 10 minutes after the pour which I was impressed with. Upon the pour one finger head with a pleasing clean white foam that does however, unfortunately, dissipate sooner than I'd like. Mouthfeel is clean but with a tad of watery undertones. Carbonation is sharp and works well with the gentle hops/citrus/biscuit flavor profile.
Is this a hot, summer weather, dry throat quench type of beer? Yes, all day, every day, no questions asked. Is this an evening in front of the TV with fave movie and snacks at hand type of beer? Ditto. Poured properly, this beer is easy on the eyes and will wet the proverbial whistle with above average taste, looks and flavor profile. Not dirt cheap but also not in the upper price echelon of more mature flavor profile pilsners, which this beer can hang with by the way. Great fricking beer, bar none. If you see it, grab it.

I just tried this beer over the weekend. After spending time in Germany and the Czech a month ago I was looking for a Pilsner that would equal those in Europe. After tasting 4/5 Pilsners, this was by far the closest beer to bringing me back to my homeland.

Pours a hazy yellow without any real head to speak of. Smell is clean with a hint of malt. Taste is malt forward and a bit a fizz on the finish. I would say this is best enjoyed slowly in a cold glass
