Got it on tap at Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, PA, 5/27/10.
A: Slightly hazy bright golden-yellow body with a 2-finger white head. Leaves behind nice rings of lace.
S: Nice and clean -- cereal grains and floral -- what I think of as German-style -- hops.
T: Light crackery/biscuity malt up front, with a good dry, lemony bitterness at the end. Slight hint of spice and a bit of a "bite" to it. Bitterness lingers. As it warms, I get a bit more earthiness to it.
D: Very good. Goes down easily and was enjoyable. Might've been served a tad bit too cold, which is an unusual impression for a pilsner, especially for me, as I like my pilsners very cold.

Draft at the Pour House in Westmont, NJ.
Pours a very hazy and dark golden yellow color with banana hues and a 1.5 finger frothy white head. Good retention, only slowly fading into a lasting ring. Chunks of soapy lacing left behind.
Earthy aroma with a spicy hop presence that's countered by light fruit, citrus rind and pale malts. Slightly spicy with some clove/pepper followed by lemon peel, apple, pear and earthy, grassy pine.
Medium bodied with a spicy, slightly dry hop bite that lingers into a dry finish. Grassy but only slight bitterness that nicely balances the grass/straw notes as well as the citrus and light fruit. Hints of apple and pear compliment the pale pilsner malt flavor. Very flavorful , refreshing and easy to drink.
