The aroma is light, maybe some licorice. The appearance is a very plae gold with a thin white head. Again a hint of licorice in the taste. Super easy to drink. Okay beer overall.
Bottle. Pours clear straw golden with white lacing. Aroma of sweet bread, grass, and a hint of fruit. Medium sweet taste. Light body, dry light bitter finish. Good overall.
Soft scents of malt and bread. Pours a very pale gold yellow with a thin fast dissipating white head. Nice sour hops and malt following the nose. Short crisp finish with soft carbonation and almost no lacing. Very creditable pilsner.
Very middle of the road pilsner, wasn’t great but was’nt bad either, easy drinking with no after taste.
Bottle. Cloudy pale gold with a quickly dissipating white head. Malty aroma with notes of grain, hay, sourdough and hops.
Poured from a bottle into a pilsner glass. Easy drinking pilsner with a slightly bitter graininess that one would expect from the style. Clean, fresh, and crisp.
Bottle. Clear pale yellow with small foamy white head, faint doughy aroma, medium carbonation, lightly bitter bread taste, thin body, abrupt finish. Not a good pilsner, more like a generic lager.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a hazy crusty burnt yellow almost hazed over orange color. Thin white head glossing over sly the body. Sly ridged lacing here and there.
The aroma keeps sweet grassy hops up front over sly biscuity malts. Light breadiness. Low bitterness, barely there.
The flavor takes on the sweet bready/biscuitiness, grassy sweet to bitter hops.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body. Sessionable. Carbonation feels good.
Overall, good German pilsener that I could come back to.
Pours a greenish yellow from a tap. Bready aroma, corn syrup and birch beer flavor initially, turning into a slight sourdough. Good beer.
Bottle - Pours pale straw, white head. Grass, hay, lemon, fruity, mild melon nose. Similar flavors leading up to a very smooth hops finish.
Keg at brewdog shepherds bush. Pours clear golden, nose is grassy, floral, toffee, vegetive, taste is sweet, floral toffee.
On tap at Lingua World Cafe. A clear pale gold with a finger of foamy head. A nice crackery grassy malt aroma, hints of spice. The flavour has a slight citric tang, crackers, light Pils hop bitterness. It’s crisp and dry, overall decent drinking.
APPEARANCE-
Looked great. Super light color, perfectly clear and exuberant white head.
NOSE-
Nice lightly spicy hop - sazzy, in fact.
FLAVOR- crisp and light. Slightly bitter at the end, which is on point.
NOTES-
One of the few pils’es that I really like.
Bottle. Slightly hazy medium gold, lovely grass and light floral hop character, clean grains, bitter finish. An excellent pilsener.
Bottle from Table and Vine. Pale clear gold with lasting head and lace. Crackery spicy grassy aroma. Crackery malt with just a touch of honey and spicy grassy finish with a hint of tartness. Very light body and lively carbo. Very enjoyable and authentic. Underrated IMHO. Very good.
Pours a clear golden yellow from the bottle with bubbly white head that leaves moderate lace. Aroma and taste of bready pils malt and a hint of grassy hops. It’s a moderate pils, meh.
Form the bottle poured into spiegelau IPA glass. Huge white head that quickly diminishes. Nose is soapy citric hops. Taste is light malty foreground with grassy hoppy middelpart. Not to intrusive Overall well balanced. Finish is grassy floral hops. Decent Pilsener... dunno why it’s rated that low around here...
Not my favorite beer from them, but I didn’t expect it to be. Grainy with a tiny bit of a grassy/earthy hop bite. Average feel and finish.
I like this beer more than the other raters. Clean, crisp, fun. A very easy drinking beer
Pours a clear gold/pale-yellow with a small white head with very little lacing. Aroma is grainy malt with a honeyed undertone. Taste mild to moderate bitter with a hint of sweetness. Light bodied, slightly dry with a grainy finish. Overall, not my favorite style nor a phenomenal beer, so my biased opinion is to pass unless free (or being forced to drink cheap domestics).
Tap from Pat’s Place. Pours cloudy orange with white head. Aroma of grass and lemon hops. Tastes of grains, hops and malt. Bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied with little carbonation. Clean and crisp. An okay beer.
Almost no aroma. Flavor is mainly hop bitterness, with little malt sweetness. Average body and head.
12z bottle. Clear golden color with a white head. Grainy aroma. Light body. Grainy flavor with some malt. Basic Pilsner. Light body.
Appearance was clear yellow with white creamy tight 1 finger head, spotty lacing. Aromas are simple corn, lemon and pale malt sweetness. Taste are lemon upfront with Pilsner malt sweetness in mid sip. Corn and mineral crisp slightly drying finish. Palate was soft smooth CO2 with light body, then a smooth balanced traditional German pils finish. Overall an easy drinking Pils that’s a good law mover brew.
Aroma is somewhat grassy and crisp with a pale and mild aura of hops. Taste is sweet and light fruity with a hint of faint citrus, light minerals shine through. Pleasant aftertaste and the soft carbonation provides it with the stamp "OK Pils"
bottle. yellow and fizzy. Grassy and slightly metallic, with a sharp aftertaste. Not terribly good.
Very light, almost clear yellow with commercial style fizzy head that dissipates almost as quick.
A little bitter smack up front followed by a strong metallic taste.
$9.99/multi sixer at Wegmans Leesburg VA
From NOTES.
A: Grassy and lemony hops over a pale malt body. Very much to style.
A: Slightly cloudy gold color, with a perfectly white head.
T: Follows the nose with some grains up front and an odd lingering bitterness.
P: Medium body with decent carbonation.
O: Lacks the clean and crispness of a great pils.
Drab and lifeless pour with little, if any, head. This is an interesting Pilsner. It is very light-bodied-- and its presentation is certainly week-- but the flavor is surprisingly rich for such a weak bodied brew. Noble hops top off the finish, and the appropriate lingering bitterness is present. However, sometimes there is a slightly metallic or the noticeable presence of alcohol slipping into the finish. That is indeed rare for a pilsner, but at 5.5% this is not your everyday German style pils. Light and enjoyable, I would put this in my top 10 favorite (towards the bottom) American craft brew pils. The brewers’ note on the bottle label is especially important (I’m paraphrasing): "a Pils is a true testament to a brewer’s expertise." So true. I’m gald to see those in the industry get it.
Bottled, golden brown. Bold fruit hops with a roasty malt after taste. Pretty good Pilsner.
