I’m sorry, this beer just does not really do it for me. Abita is great ale brewery, but not so good at Pilsners. When I think of a Pilsner, I think of the great Czech beers like Urquell or Staropramen - or even Shiner (Texas.) This beer does not excite, but does not offend either. Obviously a lot of folks love this beer, so what do I know?

Bottle. Nice barley malt aroma - mild hops. Hazy yellow with a nice big head. Barley malt and light pine hops flavor. Nicely blended. This is a very nice beer - much better than most of their current offerings.

Clear golden bronze with a large white head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is American hops with light bread. Grapefruit, pine, floral, citrus, grass. Cool stuff. Body was almost perfect, but could have used more butteryness. Really bitter for a pils, although all of the flavors are still there too. Glad it wasn’t focused on just bitterness. What a great surprise though... awesome.

Pale gold appearance with a medium size white head. Grassy, lightly toasted aroma, with the hops providing big hits of citrus. Crisp, dry, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Mild herbal taste, well hopped, some grainyness. Clean finish of average duration. A very well constructed pils. My favorite, so far, from this brewery.

one of the best pilsners i have ever had in the states. great hop flavor and aroma. a little lacking in body, but that is its only flaw.

12oz bottle. Poured a lighter to medium (with a slight haze) golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grass, grains, floral and light citrus. Tastes follow although on the weaker and somewhat watery side with somewhat of a honey sweetness to it. Thin body.

Bottle - Golden pale color, thin white head. Floral and hop notes. Crisp hop flavor... some orange peel, lemongrass, light grain. Good malt balance.

Its funny, but when I rate a bottled pils, I usually brace myself for some crippling flaw. Is it skunky? Stale? Flat? Stuff like that. This one was, in fact, actually pretty good. Very crisp and refreshing, with a slighlty bigger than I expected hop bite. Nice Pilsener, I’d drink it again.
