bhindbluis (17), Chaska, Minnesota, USA Dec 4, 2003 BigBastard (669), L.A., California, USA Mar 8, 2004 This was a pleasant surprise. Light and creamy mouthfeel, with light hops, and lightly sweet malty flavors. This will be my go to supermarket beer for a while I think. Very enjoyable. psuCE03 (110), York, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 11, 2007 Good carbonated body with a light yellow color. Had a good head and fine taste for a pilsner. legion242 (1520), Richardson, Texas, USA Feb 13, 2002 Champagne color; Average head; Heavy Saaz aroma. Very dry palate. Lots of Hallertau and Saaz. Easily the best American Pilsner that I have tasted. Very close to a European Pils. ClarkVV (3547), Allston, Massachusetts, USA Nov 19, 2003 First pyramid product didnt know what to expect. Opened the bottle, swirled and began pouring. Great aroma, mildly spicy hops, and some softer yeast aroma. Very hazy amber with some deeper orange/gold hues at the bottom. Just right on the white head. Good amount of sediment; bottle conditioned! Starts out with a fresh lightly bitter hops flavor that is in the background. Up front I find a good amount of honey flavor that is quite delicate. As it progresses there is a creamy texture, good medium body and a wonderful wonderful wonderful clear hops finish, something like Goldings, or tettnang. I wondered if it would hold up as it warmed and to my surprise the hops flavor was magnified and the body remained medium. Good carbonation level, only a touch wateriness in the middle, very very fresh flavor. Could use a bigger bolder flavor, but it is great for what it is, a nice delicate lighter pilsener. No trace of any metallic flavor in this bottle.
