Commercial Description:
Straw-colored and crystal-clear, this Pilsner brew is our first genuine lager beer. We used a traditional German lager yeast strain, and the classic Saaz, Hallertau and Hersbrucker hop varieties. Original gravity of 12.5 plato, followed by 8 weeks of fermentation and conditioning (compared to 2 weeks for our ales), result in a 5.5% abv. and a remarkably crisp, clean flavor.

12 oz bottle. Smells good, tastes like a slightyly above average pilsener. Very easy drinkability. If you’re into chugging beer and don’t want a macro, this is the beer for you.

Poured a golden color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malts, citrus fruits, grass, toffee, and light floral notes. Taste of citrus fruits, toasted malts, sweeter toffee, and a medium bitter, hop finish.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured clear amber color with a large white fizzy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

7/22/2009: Ithaca Pils pours a hazy straw color with a fluffy white head. The light aroma is grassy and Noble. I like the bite in the flavor. There are plenty of crisp, grassy and peppery hops. The middle is a little soapy and floral, but other than that this is a pretty solid Pils with a good lingering bitterness. It is light, crisp, and refreshing. Not bad at all!

12 fl. oz. bottle (Best Before: July 2009) from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #47 for this beer.

Tap at Barcade. Pale straw-coloured pour. The aroma is pretty nice. Bright zesty hops and a touch of soft floral character. A touch of lemon and a soft minerally hoppiness on the back. Softly sweet as well with a nice balance of crackery malts. Lovely lingering bitterness with a soft spicy herbal hoppiness. It’s really pretty nice. One of the better pilsners I’ve had in awhile.

Not bad for a pilsner. Pours a cloudy yellow color with no head. Aroma of hops and malts. Good carbonation. Smooth and mild for a pilsner.

Tap at Barcade: Light golden pour with a fading white head. Dry crackery aroma with some zesty saaz notes. Nice crisp yet creamy carbonation. The flavor is also dry and with a crackery pils base- very clean with a peppery grassy noble bitterness- seems like tettnang. A very nice pils.
