Well...prohibit this pils from my lips because I hate it. It's not just a beer style I dislike and wanted to get away from, but also it's sharply metallic and bitter.

on tap, poured into a pilsner glass
a: translucent light straw yellow color, bubbling 1/4" head with decent retention. light lacing rings the glass
s: clean smell, light malt and floral hops
t: light malt flavor cut by floral/noble hop bitterness. Well balanced beer. Not as bitter as i would have guessed by the advertised 40 IBUs.
m&d: light bodied, crisp and clean. Excellent pilsner. Very drinkable, almost the most sessionable GLBC Beer.
Cheers!!!

Took a swing top growler home from the brewery with me. Poured into a pint glass.
A: Clear golden color with about two fingers of foamy white head.
S: Malty, sweet, floral. Not too potent.
T: Sweet, malt, slight hoppiness, spice, light-light bitterness.
M: Smooth, good carbonation.
D: This is a very easy to drink to pilsener, its light, smooth, flavorful, but not overpowering. I was impressed with this.

On tap at the brewery in Cleveland a few hours ago. Poured into a tall, clean, clear Pilner glass. From the web site: Crisp golden pilsner loaded with noble hop flavors. ABV: 5.1% ABW: 4.1% IBU: 40
A Very clear light yellow with minimal, short lived head. Looks like an appropriate Pilsner.
S Basic Pilsner smell but more aroma than say, a Budweiser.
T Nice barley malt, basic pils but again way more flavorful and active than a Bud.
M Light, again, just like a Pilsner should be.
D Good but I don't like Pilsners that much. Victory Prima Pils (recent reviewed) is much better IMO.
Notes: It was good to find this at the Brewery today.

A-Brilliant, crystal clear golden yellow with a medium bright head. Head reduces to a thin film that leaves nice lacing behind.
S-Like a freshly made lemon biscuit with just a touch of sharp spiciness.
T-Spicy lemon bite with a supportive light malt bill. So light, refreshing and crsip this one just dances on the palate.
M-Light bordering on medium-light. Super crisp with a long lasting bitterness.
D-Really good and thirst quenching. So easy it goes down without a fight. Very true to style, well done.
