Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of malt and light hops. Flavor is sweet from malt with a light hop and citrus taste. Simple, very basic and easy to drink.

350 ml bottle from La Bodega. Yellow amber with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma. Malty and bready taste with a crisp, clean finish. Fairly one dimensional.

Very refreshing start. I loved the first couple of gulps, but then it became rather soft, bland and blah. It has some dryness, but a bit too sweet for a pilsner. something feels missing to keep the rest of the bottle interesing. Good to start, but have a buddy drink the second half off it...

This is a well made pilsner, as are all of North Coast’s offerings. I don’t think i would have picked this one up otherwise. I liked the smell of this one, nothing great but exactly what i want a pilsner to smell like. Taste was crisp and bready. Very good beer for the style, and since it was on sale it works for me. Not something I would pay premium price in a bar for though.

Not the best pilsner i’ve had, nose is very caramel with the flavours a mixture of caramel and jasmine. fairly decent mouthfeel but lacks crispness and a clean finish you’d expect from a good pilsner

Bottle. Poured a gold to light amber with a lasting albeit uneven head. Aroma of honeyed cereal, with light citrus, floral and golden delicious apple notes. Cereal malt flavor balanced well with zesty hops. A little grainy on the finish. Lively carbonation in a medium body. Not a bad pils overall.

Medium blond hue, small paper white head. Aroma is weak bread and cereal with a hint of grass. Flavor is light bready sweet at the onset and then somewhat bitter. Light body, lively carbonation. Bitterness stays around until the next drink. I won this beer in a raffle and was pleasantly surprised.

hay, honey, yeast. avoids the skunkiness that marks pilsner; solid yellow clear w/ frothy white head. airy in the mouth, good level of cabonation. I taste hops, wheat, balanced just a tinge toward the sweet, not much chaarcter
