Straw colored with a weak head. Smells hoppy and tart and tastes the same. A little maltiness lurks in the finish. Mouthfeel is fantastic and makes this a fine hot day brew. Combined with the hoppy nature of the beer, it makes for a beer that certainly earns the title: "Crisp and Refreshing". Drinkability is likewise high.

12oz bottle from grocery store. Smooth, clean and crisp pils. Golden pour, decent foamy head, mostly grain aroma and taste, lightly hopped. Nice summer refresher

Pilsner malts and toast. A tasty low hop Pilsner. A smooth feel with little edge and a pleasant after taste.
A very pleasant beer. Not the best I've ever had, but far from the worst.

Malty and floral on the nose. Well carbonated and sweet on the first sip. Ends with a bittersweet hops flavor. A good daily Pilsener. Nothing to complain about this beer.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Trillium IPA glass.
Look is a pale orange with a full white head.
Aroma is a dry biscuit malt with a strong Pilsner yeast.
Taste is very light and refreshing with a dry finish.
