I have no idea how I have not reviewed this previously (unless the notes have not been transcribed or were lost/stolen), but today was the day to get 'er done!
This was brought to me with a finger-and-a-half of bone-white head that quickly fell to wisps. Color was a beautiful sunshine-yellow with NE-quality clarity on a cloudy, overcast day. Nose was subtle with Saaz hops along with a dry, biscuity maltiness. Mouthfeel was medium with an initial hop bite followed by the same dry, biscuit maltiness as noted on the nose. A few of us had been discussing the preponderance of German-style lagers in PA earlier in the afternoon and here was a perfect example! What a fantastic beer! Finish was Sahara-dry with a slight sweetness at the extreme finish. Gasp!

On tap at the Media PA location.
Pours pale golden with exceptional clarity and a fine thick white head. Excellent lacing.
A really well crafted and clean pilsner with excellent appearance, attractive aroma, and a flavor that's slightly sweeter than usual.

Clear golden color, pretty still looking, with a finger of bright white head. Crisp smelling, with some bready malt most prevalent. Light tasting with bready malt again and decidedly less crispness than the nose. None of the melon or hop spice expected. The major fault, IMO, is that there is not enough carbonation in the mouthfeel. Okay, but a bit too flat. Served on tap at brew pub.
