Commercial Description:
Our Brewhaus' interpretation of the world's most popular beer style. The Pils is pale-straw in color with a high flavoring of German noble hops and a clean, dry finish. Aged in our lagering tanks for over seven weeks for a smooth, mature body. Great with almost any dish.

Wow... I was expecting nothing from this brew, and I was so wrong. Hazy golden beer with a thick white head. Very fresh bright noble hop aroma Bright and citrusy with a light zesty character and a hint of floral sweetness. Crisp herbal/floral hoppiness. Softly minerally which helps accentuate the light crackery malts and floral bitterness. Crisp, crackery finish. This is an excellent pils... the best I’ve had in over a year. Thanks to beastiefan2k for insisting that I try it.

Had it on tap at Black Forest. It had a pale yellow color and a slight bitterness to the flavor.

Straw color with a white and well retained head. Aroma of some very light bitterness plus there was an interesting bitterness at the finish of this that I did not really expect to be that strong, however, it was not overwhelming.

Clean and aroma-less. Really unpleasant aftertaste. Reminded me of a light beer which was overhopped. Just pass on it. Don’t drink it. Save yourself the agony.
