look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

12 oz bottle, best by 8/11, poured into a SA Perfect Pint

A - Clear, pale yellow with a bright, vibrant, two inch head that sticks around for a while and clings to the edges of the glass.

S - Floral laden hop varieties with a malty edge; just a hint of some sweet fruits

T&M - Light and crisp, with various hop influences. Floral, spicy, and a bit of citrus all dance around on the palate. Malting is substantial as well, and plenty is present to balance the hop load with a toasty, somewhat grainy edge.

O - One of the better Pils that I've had, and one that I would happily keep around.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pilnser.

A: Golden hue. Pours a 2 finger, bubbly white head. Craters slowly and dryly. Lots o' rising effervescence and plenty of cling to the sides of the glass. Plenty of dry residue remains as it settles. Much dry, sticky, beer ring lacing.

S: Sourdough, oregano, parsley, hay, and a bit of a floral note.

T: Tastes much like it smells. Unbaked sourdough bread prominent. Buttery and slightly sweet. Very nice balance.

M: Feels thick and is full bodied. Slightly pungent and buttery aftertaste lingers on the palate.

D: Uncharacteristic of the style, this is a savory brew.

Atmosphere is great. Great body, and head. A lot of lacing. Nose is really strong bread and savory spice and a little floral. Buttery, sweet, sourdough bread. Overall, this is a really good quaff.

It poured from the bottle a clear golden straw color with a nice white one finger head consisting of tiny bubbles and leaves a bunch of ancient African art stick figures on the side of the glass for lacing! COOOOL!

I was hit with an aroma of both sweet pale malt, earthy hops and white bread! YUM!

The flavour is pretty much the same way. It starts of pale malty sweet and releases some mild fruity notes as it moves across your tongue mixing with some bread then finally letting loose some really mild earthy and piney hops ending only mildly dry and peppery. WOW!

The mouthfeel is light creamy sweet moderate body and a bit of carbonation at first.

Overall I am going to say that this is my new favorite pilsner. It's really good and I highly recommend it to anyone! 5 out of 5! World Class!

A bottle from standard variety pack...freshness date showing until August 2013...decanted into pint tumbler...

A - Frothy 2 inch creamy white head...disipates to about 1/2 inch and hangs on...great lacing...champagne like bubbles...near clear/slightly hazy extra pale golden-yellow...

S - Herbaceous, piney, earthy noble hops, bready-biscuit-yeasty malt aromas...awesome!

T - Citrus, Pine, Biscuits, a kiss of sweetness, nice clean hop bitterness that isn't over powering...subperbly balanced...

M - A slight sting from the carbonation but not in a bad way...light mouthfeel...a little creaminess..

Ovearll - A delicious, crisp, clean and refreshing german-style pilsner...definitely in my top 5 pilsners...Pennsylvania has some great german style beers and this is right at the top...along with Stoudt's Gold Helles-munich lager which is not to be missed.

Other notable pilsners from PA...Victory Prima Pils, Slyfox Pikeland Pils, and Troegs Sunshine Pils, all of which are in the top 50 Pilsners on BA. A difficult style to get right and one that people often overlook or think about as generic...probably has something to do with all the Macro Garbage out there trying to pass themselves as german style pilsners/lagers. When you need a crisp and refreshing brew this summer, reach for a Pennsylvania-Made Pilsner!!
