Notes:

Appearance: Golden with deep amber hues. A little dark and hazy for a pilsner. Partly to be expected with the addition of oats. Pours a medium-sized, fluffy head that disappears quickly in an AP glass (head has retained nicely in pilsner glass, but still a little flimsy). ____ Aroma: the nose is beautiful. Hop forward without being too much so. Interesting white wine notes dance with the oats. Undertones of lemon and vanilla. Clean, white-bread-like fermentation character. ____ Palette: Light. Clean. Vanilla and oat notes survive on the palette. Soft and crispy. Rough pencil saving note needs softening. A little bruised fruit (oxidation?). Finish is a little rough around the edges. Consider how to soften. ____ Next time: the beer is delicious. Work on head retention and what can be done to eliminate oxidation.
