Bottle: Pale yellow, slight haze, large foamy white head, vibrant, fairly clingy lacing, light carbonation.   Soft grassy nose, pale malts, a bit of straw.   Crisp grassy flavor, light sweetness, even a bit sticky.   Fairly clean, very slight grain astrigency at the finish but its very quick.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Soft musty grassiness lingers.   Pretty damn enjoyable for a Pilsner!

27-Feb-07 12oz bottle Familiar, pleasant appearance with this pale, clear, straw colored beer with streaming eff supporting a medium sized, lasting white head. Clumps of lace. Mild cereal aromas, slightly toasty, hay bale, wet cut oats. Inviting, reminds of Bitburger right away. Medium bodied, creamy eff, mildly dry finish. Lacking in the end; not sufficiently dry or final. Flavors in keeping with aromas, soft but sweet grains, not seemingly oxidized, not particularly hoppy at any point. About a notch below a generic brewpub pils, which is nothing to write home about.

I thought it was more Czech than German in character. Crisp and clean with considerable hops presence. Aroma has some corn, but it works. Refreshing. Clear gold color and a substantial white head.

No head. Pours a clear straw yellow color. Smells of bitter malts and bread. Taste is well-balanced for a type of beer I usually have no interest in. Some bitterness, but without the edge that comes with most pilsners.

Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Very biscuity aroma as well as some earthy hints as well. The flavor is lightly carbonated and has a great grainy feel to it. A very solid pils.

Very clear yellowish color - fair amount of carbonation and a medium uneven head. Basically a typical pils - decent crisp flavors, fairly well balanced but weak on the Saaz-type hoppy crunch of a good German pils (see Stoudts).

Bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with ample head. Aroma is corn syrup and hoppy malt. Floral honey flavor with a hint of grass. Nicely coating mouthfeel. Pretty good Pilsner, if you ask me. And since you’re reading this, you did. So there.

Worst "Good" beer I have had to date. Natural Light has more character than this beer.
