Commercial Description:
Ray Hill's Classic American Pilsner pours a golden yellow with a fluffy, airy white head. Slight hop aromas emanate from the lager, along with the sweet scent from the pale malts and corn. The flavor has a clean mouthfeel that makes this beer very pleasurable.

Bottle. I see why this was bought out by AB. Pours a golden pale ale with nice pilsner notes, then sweet corn and caramel. Light citrus and grass. eh.

Bottle from D&J Liquor in St. Louis MO. Darker gold color with a good frothy head that didn’t last. Somewhat bready aroma with floral/citrus notes. Medium body with frothy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is caramel, bready and spicy/grassy. Nice finish, but more a pilsener than a pilsner. Still, the bitter in the finish is respectable. The fruit aspects are attractive.

Bottle poured a clear amber with a lingering ring of ivory foam. Aromas of carmel and light citrus. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, straw and light earthiness with a smooth malty finish.

Bottle from my friend Vince. Pour is a light gold with a tall white head. Nose is rather sweet for a "pilsner" and lightly grainy. Taste was equally sweet. Lots of sweet malts, cereal and soft honey notes. Light buttery notes as well. Body is light-medium and has a fizzy, bubbly carbonation. Finish is more sweet malts, cereal grains and light grass. Touch of honey as well. Not offensive and slightly refreshing.

Bottle. A comfortable, easy-drinking lager that has more flavor and body than most American pale lagers. Clear, golden body with a big, big-bubbled head that diminishes to nothing quickly. Aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of caramel. The flavor is lightly sweet (honey) with tastes of grain and corn. Finish is lightly bitter. Light body, but the texture is just above watery. Fizzy mouthfeel, perhaps too much forced carbonation.
