As noted below, it pours with tremendous clarity and a delicate yellow color. The head is absolutely magnificent for a lager… almost Duvel-like! A gentle aroma somewhat indeterminate, then the taste… Pure heaven!
First and foremost, Saaz hops, then more Saaz hops, then a delicate maltiness, then a gentle but persistent malty finish with more Saaz hops. Oh so crisp (I hate that adjective!) and refreshing. Served ice-cold, it’s fun to drink – the hops and malt more than hold their own.

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 17, 2002 Best American brewed Pils I’ve ever tried...has that un-defineable extra certain something that makes it stand out, not sure if it’s the fantastic malt flavor, the perfect balance, or the picture perfect noble hop bitterness and flavor...Prima pils is definitely "all that"! kenb (1100), Oregon, USA

Aroma is grainy, grassy hops, pears and a bit of yeast. Taste is very hoppy for a Pilsner. Bitter aftertaste. Thin body. Watery mouthfeel. Basically a bunch of hops in water....
7/8/2009-rerate-orig was 6/3/4/2/8 on 11/12/2006-wow either my palette has changed a LOT in almost 3 years, or this beer has gotten much better!

Magic Hat and Troge, but this one, after a couple of tries, I was convinced, this is the best of the other ones I’ve had. Great hoppy flavor for a pilsner. Pick this over Miller, Coors, Bud, Corona, Yuengling Light. Sam Light is pretty good. brandtmeister (2), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Oct 19, 2007 hmmm, yummy. Picked this up on sale - loved the the label....what a surprise. Very crisp and clean, exactly how a good pilsener should be. I enjoyed every drop. Wonderfully refreshing bitter finish.

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 31, 2002 I had to go mail order just to try this Pilsener out and I have to say, it was one of my better decisions. I’ve never tasted a more bold sample of the style: Enormous hop flavour when first poured..almost like it’s a totally unbalanced brew complete with enormous carbonation but wait a few moments and everything seems to settle down. The taste of malt finally creeps in and the huge bubbles are now small. Almost like 2 beers in one; the foamy head is retained through both stages of this beer’s life. ;^)
