Pale straw. Small lasting foamy head. Some lace. Aroma light bread dough, herb, hay. Taste light spicy herbal hop with hay and some pear. Crisp. Pretty Balanced but with zesty slightly bitter finish. Very lean. Good but not my favorite.

On tap at the 2018 Decatur Beer Fest.
Pours with a clear golden body topped with a decent white head. Excellent clarity.
Mild, mainly hoppy aroma.
The well balanced flavor is mildly bitter and has a good blend of hops and malts.
Medium-light body with medium carbonation.

On-tap 12/29/2016 @ Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.
My face had just been Split Open and Melted by Phish after a dark, haunting, and downright fantastic end to their first set and I needed to pee badly. I raced down to the MSG corridor towards the men's room, when I caught something out of the corner of my eye; a FOAM Pilsner tap handle! Yes!
Enjoyed during the set break from a plastic cup, it had your classic pilsner appearance: pale gold in color and clear with a frothy white head. Grassy noble hop aroma (or maybe that was just coming from the crowd?) with bready malts to back it up. Nice balance in the flavor that pretty much nailed the profile of a German pilsner. Medium-light bodied, quenching and fortifying.
This was the perfect pick-me-up for Set 2. My friend Andy and I shared the last few sips as Mike's bass pounded out the opening notes to Down With Disease, and we were on our way to a great rest of the night.

Nice clear straw color. Faint hop aroma. Starts nice and light with medium carbo ation. Finishes with that perfect noble hop bite, slightly bitter and aa weebit resinous pine.
Perfect specimen of Pilsener.
