Very bitter, almost sour tasting.

My rating 3.8.
Drink this in a tall glass. Very tasty pilsner.

Very crisp and fresh tasting. Medium hoppiness but still a pretty light beer for this style.

Beautiful fragrant hops. Taste of Spring saplings. Light to medium. Malted enough to deliver smooth refreshing finish

Very nice representation of the noble hop character. I wish I could find a good clone recipe to brew this one!

Aroma:
Light and citrusy. Like standing between a lemon and orange groove.
Appearance:
Light honey gold with a large, quick fading, white head.
Taste:
Very sweet for a pils. You can taste a slight honey/straw flavor from the pilsner malt. The sweetness is balanced by the earthy, ashy flavors brought in by the noble hops. The overall effect is line tasting the breeze from a lemon grove. Woody and earthy with a distinct citrus bittersweet.
Overall:
One of the beat seasonals the Boston Beer Co. makes. Sweet and a little syrupy, it works well in the colder days of late winter. But it's light fruity flavor really gets one thinking forward. Perhaps one of the best balanced golden beers on the market.

A really interesting pilsner. This is the first American pilsner I have ever tried (I usually drink Bohemian and German pilsners) but I was pleasantly surprised by this beer. The aroma, the initial taste, and the aftertaste are all very "green". It was like I was drinking a hop plant, but in a good way. I almost wouldn't characterize it as a pilsner, but the dryness and the hop presence makes it work. Overall good, but not a beer I would give to someone who wants to try a pilsner for the first time.

Shame the seasonal they brew the most months is the worst one.
