Not my favorite style but this was OK. Very light all around. Hoppy aroma and taste. Nice light amber with a small head. A little watery but refreshing.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of maniac. Thanks! Pours a clear copper color with a one finger head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted malts and musty apples. Taste is grassy hops, toasted malts, apples and other fruit notes, light caramel. Medium bodied.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small foamy head. A little skunk, crisp hops, a little perfume, and some cardboard in the nose. Medium-high carbonation with a light mouthfeel. Light caramel, sweet malt, a little grass, and grain on the palate. Medium-short finish. Light and fairly refreshing, but a little on the watery side. Overall not a bad brew.

12oz bottle, from treyrab, thanks Trey. Classic gold pour with a pretty nice white head. Classic malt aroma, a little grassy and a little bit of caramel. Nice malty backbone, very clean anf flavorful with just a little hop bite in there. Pretty tasty pils.

Malty caramel graininess in aroma. Not much hop aroma and clean with no fruitiness. Clear amber golden with small white head. Malty flavor with little hop flavor. Finish is malty and clean. Not really a Pilsner but still pretty tasty. More a Dunkel or Vienna style lager. Medium body and mouth feel.

Nice amber color. Fairly light, dry, and bitter brew. Not much of a pilsner, but that is because it apparently is a Vienna lager. So so. This brewer has not really won me over. They are just a click above the macros imho.

12 oz bottle. Pours pale yellow with a nice white head. Smells mellow slight hop and malt smell. Tastes a little grainy, with some hop bitterness. An easy drinking beer.

Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: pours as clear dark golden brew. Medium long lived mid dense top.
Nose: Clean , fresh properly constructed pils aroma. Meadow like hop profile often found in Bavarian and Bohemian lagers. Very neat refreshing softness.
Flavor/Palate : Medium light bodied. Golden malt bottom. Not to heavy with delicate yet pronounced hops. Very drinkable amber pils from Penn Brewery. Pleasant surprise.
As of Feb 2009 this beer is higly underrated.
