On draft at evolution. Medium golden color, creamy crisp mouthfeel, pleasing bready nose and flavor, moderate white foam head with decent lacing, good finish.

Bottle at hotel. Medium golden pour with a light foamy head. Grainy, grassy aroma. Taste brings in some caramel, bready notes, finifhing with a dry bitterness.

I poured this into a clear pint glass and it was a light golden yellow color, almost like a lemon color and it had a nice white head. The smell was like most pilsner beer. The taste of this one was pretty good.

Tastes a lot like the pilsners I drank in Bavaria and the Czech Republic. Really good!

Purchased a bottle 12/2021 at Total Wine & More, Wilmington, DE.
Billed as a Czech style pilsner. Golden in color with floral and citrus zest hop characteristics. Crisp, clean, smooth and hoppy (for a Pilsner).
Very enjoyable!

Clear, bright gold appearance with a medium size white head and decent lacing. Floral, spicy, herbal hop aroma with a hint of hayfields courtesy of the malts. . A rich mouthfeel lacking in many domestic pils. Grains reminiscent of rye, some sweetness, hops evident but not dominant. Clean,dry aftertaste with an average length finish.

12 ounce bottle poured into a tumbler.
L: Two plus fingers of thick, antique-white foam top a clear, pale (@3-4 SRM) pour with plenty of rising bubbles.
S: Malt forward, yeasty bread doe and some cracker with only light grassy hop aroma.
T: Malt forward and overly sweet for style, lots of doughy bread with corn becoming more apparent as it warms. Even the hop flavor has a ripe fruity quality. Bitterness is restrained and opens just a touch at the finish becoming more floral.
F: Smooth and medium bodied it remains soft from start to finish and it seems under carbonated, not flat but not crisp at all.
O: This beer is @110 days in the bottle, there is no skunk or other oxidative qualities but this could surely account for some of the subdued hop presence. With that considered I still think this is too sweet and heavy for style. I would like to grab a fresh bottle to compare.

On tap into a pint glass. A nearly clear golden color with a modest white head. Nice foam retention. A nice noble hop aroma with white bread maltiness. The taste was clean and crisp. Bitterness was a tad more than I expected but it was pleasant and floral. Clean, dry finish with no off-flavors. Nice.

Pours a slightly hazy straw color with a large frothy head. Excellent retention on the head that yields a thick lathery film and sticky lacing throughout.
The aroma has a sweet bready and biscuity quality to it. In addition, a light citrusy hops aroma adds a fruity component.
The taste opens up with a sweet bready and biscuity malt flavor that is smooth and silky. Certainly it has a clean lager taste, however, there is a subtle fruity malt, ester and citrusy hops flavor that adds depth. The hops bitterness and flavor develops gradually and adds a balanced yet bold touch; its bitterness subdued and clean, its earthy flavors grassy and spicy. The finish is lemony and with an earthy hops, slightly resiny linger.
Medium to light bodied with a gentle carbonation. More smooth than crisp.
A very flavorful hoppy pilsner. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I feel like I drink a ton of pilsner in the summer so this seemed perfect for a July Friday aftrernon. It has a standard pilsner look and smell, with a big white head and a nose full of noble hops, bread notes, and yeast.
Features a big, broad flavor, full of bread and biscuit notes and a touch of late spice. The body is creamy in texture and easy to quaff in quantity. Another solid effort from these eastern shore brewers.

L: Poured from a bottle to a pilsner glass. Had a golden yellow color and a clear consistency. There was an inch of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Not a whole lot of lacing.
S: A so-so aroma of hops, malt, citrus, and a grassy quality.
T: Tasted of a small amount of citrus fruit (lemon, in particular), a slightly skunky quality, a moderate amount of hops (present throughout), a floral quality, and a bit of grassiness. This is one of those decidedly uneven flavors. The hops content isn't quite powerful enough, while the malt is much more pronounced.
F: A well-carbonated beer with a lively finish. Light-bodied.
O: DelMarVa's not necessarily a bad beer, but certainly uneven, though.
