Poured out a clear, golden-yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of floral notes, grains and sweet caramel. It tasted of sweet toasted caramel with a spicy bitterness.

6-pack. Great interlude in a month full of IPAs. Looks like Bud Light, but goes down crisp.

Solid pilsener by Brooklyn. Pours golden and clear. Nice white head that hangs well around the edges after it dissapates. Smells of malt and grains. Nice, grassy, and grainy with a touch of hops. Smooth and crisp finish.

Looks and smells great. Taste is ...fine. Completely inoffensive beer. A little prickly on the front end as well as wet. Overall decent.

Serving: Keg
A: Light-medium straw color, medium-high carbonation. Light-medium head.
S: Citrusy hop aroma.
T: With very light maltiness, the hop flavor combination is focused of grapefruit and rose pedals (citrus/flower) on my palette are worth the price of admission. Very clean, crisp and refreshing the way a Pilsner should be.
O: Very good. The mild flavors and aromas of this style of beer are difficult and time consuming for Home Brewers to produce, so I will leave it to the pro$.

Comes in a crystal clear, pale straw color. Topped by a foamy white head that dies soon, but leaves a thin head and splatters of lacing down the glass.
The smell is more faint and delicate than most pilsners, but not necessarily in a bad way. Grass, mint, cracker, green apple, underripe pear, honeydew melon, cucumber, clover, straw.
Upfront, there's lemon, seltzer water, pear, green apple. On the mid-palate, cracker, mint, cucumber, green pepper. On the finish, a more biscuit malt sweetness. The aftertaste is fairly brief, but there is grass, white pepper, and lemon peel.
The mouthfeel is very light, kind of watery, but quite spritzy.
A crushable and thirst-quenching pilsner, but nothing pungent going on, either. A decent but unremarkable pils.
