As good as any made-in-Czech republic pilsner. Colour was a nice medium gold and came with a medium sized white head which left some nice lacing. Aroma was crisp and clean, giving off a bit of hop. Taste was again crisp and clean while at the same time smooth and refreshing.

Pours pale gold with a 3 finger creamy white head that has decent retention, fades to a skim and holds pretty well while leaving some decent lacing. Aroma is grass, fresh grain, toasted grain, fresh white bread, lager yeast, corn flakes and hay. Flavor is toasted grain, crusty white bread, a little grass, dried hay and some light medicinal notes. Finish is lightly bitter, planty hops, some granola and sweet corn, with that nagging medicinal note clinging on. Palate is light bodied with a fizzy, slick entry and dry, still somewhat slick finish. Not bad, the medicinal notes are a little off-putting though, palate is a little awkward.

I can remember drinking Koenig Pils as a kid in Germany. There was a chain of pubs around the country called "Koenig City" which featured this beer. And you know, it was pretty tasty. But nowadays, it tastes like a watered-down Pils with low bitterness, no hop aroma and very little body. Too bad really, but this is a general trend in Germany and there is no hope in sight. Who would have thought that you have to go to Pennsylvania to get a top-notch Pils?

(Can) Pours straw golden with a white head. The aroma is malty and light hoppy. Smooth and hoppy taste that ends with a nice bitternes. Nice easy drinkable german style pils.

Sampled at Mexicali¨s Baja Beer Fest Friday,2009 .Well it has a very Eurpean-hoppy aroma very resembling to Warsteiner and St. Pauli, they poured straight outta a mini-keg,which they also sell at this Wal.Marts town.However the beeer was good, a very metallic taste and palate obvoiusly adquired from the keg, copper orangy to dark yellow, body and and white constitutes it.Kinda of salty not too much malted barley character as much as the strong, grassy bitterness of the hops, very little carbonation to be a pilsener.
