2-row brewers malt, roasted barley with Liberty hops from Washington and the prized East Kent Goldings' aroma hop from England make a refreshing beer.

This is really bad. Try again Von Jakob. I'm speaking for our entire beer group.

A: Pours a clear yellow/orange color. A small white head forms, and recedes in a second. Some nice lace is left behind though.
S: Musky, earthy yeast with lots of fruity esters. Slightly tart lemons, orange, and citrus. While not bad, not what I would expect from a Pilsener.
T: Follows the nose With mostly some fruity esters and light toasted grains. Way to fruit forward for the style.
M/D: A light to medium body that is crisp, clean and dry. Easy enough to drink if you wanted to have some at the winery/brewery.
Decent, but the esters through me off for the style. Certainly nothing bad, just not what I would expect.
