look: 4.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Appearance - Pours a hazy, pale straw yellow with a white, finger width head. Good retention. Leaves a nice ring of lace around the top of the glass, with streaks and small spots down the side.

Smell - Grainy malts and subtle sweetness. Faint earthy, grassy hop character completes the aroma.

Taste - Follows the nose. Strong grain bill upfront, backed by moderate notes of grassy bitterness. Very low levels of diacetyl seem to come through around mid-taste. Finishes with lingering grassy bitterness and a slightly twangy metallic aftertaste.

Mouthfeel - Light in body with fair cabronation. Smooth, approachable and easy on the swallow. Very subtle creaminess near the finish.

Overall - Fairly solid pilsner. Not one I'd look to purchase again, but I wouldn't turn it down if offered. I can't understate the grainy bite of this beer. It's up there with a lot of the grain bombs I've had in my time.

It comes in a golden yellow color with a yellowish head.

The aroma has grassy hops and some lemon.

The flavor has a nice grassy flavor and slight bitterness. There's a bit of spice in there. However, there is a wheat or corn sweetness with the malt character. It's quite malty.

It does not have the cleanness as the Czech pilsners that I prefer. It's quite a decent beer, but lacks the lager cleanness that I prefer.

Had on tap in a pint glass.

Pours a clear medium gold with a one finger white head.

Aroma of wet grass and hay with a little bit of corn thrown in. A nice noble hop aroma is pleasant but a bit weak.

Grass and corn flavor with more behind it than the aroma. A nice sharp hob bitterness along with a nice cris clean mouthfeel and quick finish.

Overall, a nice but pretty basic pils. Really doesn't quite stand up to the likes of Pilsner Urquell or Budvar in my opinion.

Serving type: on-tap
