3.43/5  rDev -7.5%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
I was actually a little disappointed with this one. The look and feel of it is great but the taste leaves more to be desired.

Appearance - Nice and golden with a thick frothy head.

Smell - Nice hop aroma and grainy.

Taste - I was hoping for more of a strong pilsener taste. It does have a nice hop finish but it's nothing when compared to the limited brew from Sapporo's Edelpils. I was hoping for a similar taste.

Mouthfeel - Very creamy, very smooth.

Drinkability - It's easy to drink but doesn't have enough flavor to keep you wanting more for long.

It's not bad.
