05/30/12 Great balance, Very refreshing. First sip was pretty assertive but got more friendly as we both got used to each other. Hope we cross paths again.

On tap. Poured a clear, straw-yellow color with a very large, white head of foam. It smelled floral, herbal and of toasted caramel. Spicy/herbal taste with a sweet caramel finish and mild bitterness.

Being labelled a pils it does not taste like one. It tastes good for a sort of pale ale with the overly tippy flavor and aroma but has the slight spice of a pils. However, I rated to style and it does not taste well as a Czech pils.

On-tap 9/6/2015 at Natty Greene’s Tavern, in North Attleboro, MA served in a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color, with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains lager yeast, grain, light caramelized malts and some hops.
T: The taste starts out bready with flavors of grain, lager yeast and a hearty but not too heavy malt character. The hops presence is mild but complementary and brings a decent balance. The after-taste is slightly bready.
M: Crisp and smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, it’s a decent beer but there are better choices within the style.

On tap at the Ballast Point Tasting Room and Kitchen.
Clear yellow-gold with a very good, semi-durable white head. Very good lacing
Feel: medium body; High-medium carbonation.
Smell: Nice mix of hops that dominate the malts, but there is a detectable brady malt base.
Taste: appropriate for style, although it has a lightfruitiness from, I guess, American hops.
O: a worthy American version of the style.
