Had on-tap at the brewery in Seattle.

Pours a clear, light golden hue with good clarity. Head is a fine, white filmy affair, that leaves messy, patchy lace. Fine vibrant carbonation suits the style. Overall, it's a decent looking pils.

Nose is very disappointing, especially for a supposedly "dry-hopped" brew. Light pepper comes through but very little else in the way of hops. The grainy German pils style grain is present, but the hops need to be way more forward.

Light clean crispness on the palate leads to a slight bite of pepper, but also an unfortunate flavour of wet grain and a hint of corn. Finish has a bit of bite, but an almost phenolic one. Clean and painfully dry in the aftertaste. Feel is crisp enough.

Overall, it's an OK pils, but far from being an exciting one. I've probably been harsher on it than I would have had it not termed itself "dry hopped"—it's a solid Pils, but not a good hop showcase.
