Bottle. This beer was awful. It smelled skunky, tasted skunky. It was just a bad beer. It also says it is an "ale". I thought "pilsener" was a lager. Anyway, not very good.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Clear gold with an effervescent white head. The head is gone in seconds. Aroma: Wet paper, stale malt, corn syrup, and a bit of euro lager. Not good. Flavor: Very watery. Corn, grain, and popcorn notes with a little back bitterness. I think I would rather have a Bud Light than this. Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a very watery, light mouthfeel and a short, tasteless finish. Overall: Nice job making a shitty BMC clone.

On tap at the Charlotte Airport, Carolina bar. Clear pale straw color with small white head. Aroma is slightly grainy with dry light fruit. Flavor is grainy, green apple and slight lemon. Spritzy medium body. Sessionable and crisp.

Clear amber color with medium white head. Head stayed throughout. Aroma is metallic and generic pilsner. Grainy flavor of malts and more metallic notes. Not so great.

12 oz. bottle - pale gold with faint white head; a decent enough brew with aromas of stale grain, malt and honey; easy drinking with mild sweetness and grainy texture; good brew for the beach

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine in Richmond, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is dirty grain. Taste is fairly foul... pale grainy malts and something a bit like salty meat. Faint grassy hops. Thin, watery and highly carbonated. Poor effort.

Bottle Version. I was surprised to see that this beer is billed as a pilsener. The nose is very citric, fruity and ale-like, while the malt character shows wheaty dryness, not the typical cereal backbone you’d expect. This easy drinker has a bit of tartness that works for a hot weather poolside quaffer. Would not stand up to flavorful dark meats or Italian dishes, but fits well with lighter fare. Has this one on tap at the brewery as well, and comes across much better, with tartness dialed down and the malt dialed up.
