Poured from a 12 FLUID OUNCES bottle into a pint glass. BB APR 2013. BREWED AND BOTTLED BY THE BROOKLYN BREWERY, UTICA, N.Y. Utica is pretty far from Brooklyn, isn't it?

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear yellow. Decent white head.

Smell: Grassy, herbal, lemon scent. Spot on.

Taste: Perfect example for the style. Earthy and very bitter.

Mouthfeel: Bone dry, crisp and refreshing.

Overall: Not much to say about this except that it is an excellent representation of a German pils. Right up there with Troeg's Sunshine Pils (and maybe Victory Prima Pils) for domestic craft examples of German pilsners.

Handsome golden color with a modest head. Thoroughly spritzy on the tongue. It has that intensely "beery' flavor that works well for a light brew. Fragrant nose of floral hops.

A little malty and warm flavored. Slightly sharp. Underlying corn sweetness but a nice bitterness fills the mouth. A little cracker flavor with the fruity hops.

Quite a pleasant quaff. Very light with a restrained hoppy finish and a touch of fruitiness. A 12-oz bottle from the mixed 12-pack bought in Lubbock, Texas.

Golden color with a three finger head with good retention and leaving laces.
Aroma of grassy and herbal hops and grainy malt.
Sweet bready malty flavor with grassy hops and notes of earth. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Very well balanced pilsner, good beer.

I had it from the bottle.

The taste is good. It has a hop front and then shoves the tongue with biscuity malts. It's quite drinkable, but unlike other pilsners, this is super malty. It does not have a nice bitter finish of other pilsners. Lacks front hops and mouthfeel of clean, crisp lagers.

In the end, still a decent beer. It does not stand out for me because of the lack of hops and the bigger mouthfeel.
