Ray Hills American Pilsner

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, yellow-golden body with a finger-width, white head that fizzes away quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is sweeter pale malts and a light, grassy fruit. Flavor is similar. Pale with a light, grassy fruit, but no crispness. A bit of a honey sweetness as well. Palate is medium bodied and smooth, but the lack of crispness is annoying. Overall, nothing to write home about here. Had no idea this was an Anheuser-Busch product when I put together my mixer sixer.

From a bottle. Pours a light amber color with a lot of bubbling in the body. No head to speak of. No lacing. Sugary and corny, but no hop bite at all. I gotta say this is almost a drain pour. I would buy it for a session beer. It kind of pisses me off that AB/Inbev tries to fool into believing this is a legit attempt at microbrewing. It doesn’t mention AB on the label. More of their mediocre junk.

I’ve come to find out that I like pilsners, but this one seems a little sub par. Very average in about every way except where it is below average. No good mouth full of flavor; just a fleeting flavor that may have been good if it had been developed a bit more but it is gone so fast.

Pours a clear golden, small white head and med/high carbonation. Aroma is sweet, a noticeable pils gainyness and a slight honey presence. Flavor is pretty smooth with the beer starting with a light corn and straw flavor and ending with a pretty watered down noble hops note. Overall there isn’t anything really that stands out or is memorable about this beer.

Thanks to dm9831 for the bottle personally autographed by Ray Hill. It ours a clear yellow body with lively carbonation and a tall white head. There’s sweet pale malt in the aroma, but it’s overlaid by a vegetal off-ness (brussel sprouts?) that never goes away. That’s not in the flavor, a sweet medium-to-light bodied maltiness with a light grassy bitterness. This wouldn’t be a bad brew if not sor that smell.

This beer is good to drink when hanging out with your friends of color. Go to the website and listen to the soulful music while downing a cold Ray Hills. It is also nice to drink while sitting by the fire with a lady friend about to make sweet love.
