Poured form the bottle into a standard pint. The label displays a notched 'purchase before' date of June 2008, so it's good I'm having this now.

Orange gold body with a slight head quickly reducing to a bubbly film.

Aroma is crisp, slightly fruity, and light on hops.

Flavor boasts more hops than the aroma heralded. Hops are spicy, earthy, and herbal balanced by some sweet malt character. Another layer presents what I can only describe as a buttery citrus flavor which can almost be described as greasy or fatty. Interesting.

Delicious! A tasty and very drinkable pilsner with an almost buttery aftertaste. Crisp mouthfeel. I would call it the perfect after work beer if I wasn't shocked to find out it's 7% ABV! I would never have guessed - you don't taste it in the slightest. Impressive. Will definitely drink again.

Appearance: Clear golden to amber in color and a head about one inch high.

A: Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy white head.

S: Lots of bready and honey like malt in the aroma with a touch of hops. Maybe just a touch of candied citrus.

T: Follows the smell. Very malty with a lot of cereal malt and grain throughout compared to a Czech pilsener. A tiny hint of earthy hop resin before more grain and bready malt take over again.

O- Not that great, but not bad either. Most likely will never drink this again unless its free.
