a: Straw colored, somewhat cloudy. Not much of a lasting head
s: Sweet, corn smell. Sweet smell is quite strong. Moderately-high hop aroma. Seem to be picking up some diacetyl.
t: Very bitter throughout. Some sweetness. Picking up some of the corn flavor. Again, very bitter and not so much of a pleasant aftertaste. There could be some more malt flavor - however maybe the bitterness is cancelling that out.
m: Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Carbonation is medium
o: This beer was just to bitter to make it a clean, refreshing pilsner. I can taste a little malt upfront, but then the bitterness of the hops overwhelms all other taste sensations.

Classic pilsner style lager. Straw in color, with a few fingers of head that has great retention. Rings of lacing are left behind as it settles to a fingernail cap. Tiny bubbles stream constantly towards the surface. Big aromas of biscuit, white pepper, lemon, classic floral and grassy hops. Clean, crisp flavor with lemongrass, biscuit and cracker malt, and bites of peppery goodness.

L: Hazy straw under a ½” white foam collar that quickly dissipates to a thin film. S: has a strong pilsner malt nose with some earthy hop in the background. T: A rich malt backbone with a light apple touch and an earthy hop finish. F: Crisp, light body and medium carbonation. O: A rich, refreshing, full flavored pilsner.
