A - Very solid pour with a thick head. Pours a very golden-clear color. Lots of bubbles that tend to dissipate with time.

S - Hoppy smell, especially from the bottle. Good earthy tones that finishes with that classic pilsner smell.

T - Very good amount of hops. Not overbearing. A little yeasty at first, but then the hops take over through the swallow with a very, let's say peppy aftertaste.

M - Very crisp with high volume of carbonation, almost a little spicy on the swallow.

I was impressed. Overall, a very solid pilsner. I feel the art of a solid crafted pilsner by commercial brewers is hard to come by, but the Boston Brewing Company has done it here. Even drinking this in the winter while it snows outside, I look forward to drinking this on a warm spring day.

A: Straw yellow, crystal clear body. Dense white foam, excellent retention. Wonderful lacing.

S: Earthy, soapy, floral noble hops.

T/M: Floral hoppiness with smooth malts sliding in the back for a pleasantly sweet lingering finish. Touch of metallic taste, picked up in many SA bottles. Clean like a lager, no fruity esters. Light body with an intense hoppy flavor.

O: A true stand out for such a large brewery. Hop flavors are remarkably pronounced while nailing the style to the tee. Highly suggest to try on tap as the hop profile tends to be even more pungent.
