Crystal clear straw body topped by small white head. Aroma is mild sweet, sharp herbal, some grassy. Taste is medium intensity bitter, herbal and moderate grassy, mild sweet. Medium body, not particularly crisp.

Light gold color. Medium head. Aroma is grainy, malty and sweet. A light bodied pilsner. Malts are mild and kind of grainy and sweet. Hops are very slightly spicy. Typical pilsner, not a lot of flavor but lively carbonation. OK for a pilsner. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is grainy and slightly bitter.

The beer after its disinterment from the 12-ounce brown bottle resides in the glass the archetypal pilsner gold color with a smallish bright white and frothy head, after its demise the lace forms a thin screen to conceal the glass. Nose is the quintessential sweet malt, crisp and clean with the start somewhat sweet, the grain profile light and the top thin. Finish has a moderate acidity and the hops standard for the style, dry lingering aftertaste, drinkable but nothing to shout about.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy light straw, small creamy white head, attractive lacing, with soft carbonation.   Very light straw aroma with some pear mixed in.   Grassy up front, with a slight graininess.   Minor tinges of pear and flora blend in.   Not as clean and crisp on the finish as I would prefer, but still this one isn’t too bad.   Thanks goes out to ross8425 for the trade!

This was an almost perfect pils for the beach - cool and crisp, lightly sweet, a dusting of peppery hops. Plenty of flavor yet still light and refreshing. (OBX-2005)

has a different taste than i am used to. not as crisp and clean as i was expecting, but hey, every beer is different. drank it from the bottle, because i dont really enjoy pouring pilsners- they all look the same, there is no point. has a fruity taste that i cant really pinpoint. still good, one of these guys better brews.

A very average beer which is not bad. Taste is ok, as is everything else. Of course, even an average beer is still a beer.

Suffers from APA--American Pilsner Affliction. It is flavored like a pilsner but the rest is absent. It taste grainy, as if the correct flavoring malts were used but not the actual malt itself. Re rate: This is a big turnaround. Aroma is grainy, and sharp hops are in the nose. Sweetness in flavor, but mostly it is a typical german pilsener that has a fresh, somewhat crisp taste.
