Bottle. Pours a clear dark gold color with a decent white head. Scent is of light malt and some spice. Flavor is nicely balanced, malty sweetness with a nice mellow hop touch. Not bad

Copper-gold with fair, white head / Nose of grain and honey / Light, high carbonation, watery, with decent, bitter finish / Flavors of grain with hint of honey, and with enjoyable, bitter finish / A little weak and lacking in Vienna character.

On draft at PNC Park. Solid beer to have at a ballgame. Dark golden to light amber with a white head. Subdued but pleasant noble hop and grain nose. Flavor has notes of bread, grain, some caramel, grassy hops and a little hay. Some hop bitterness in there for balance. Medium, smooth body with moderate carbonation. Not exciting but a fine ballgame beer. Definitely not a pils, though - not sure why they call it Penn Pilsner.

Another mediocre American style lager. Nothing memorable. It becomes pointless to write anything in depth about these types of beers, any specific descriptions. They all pretty much taste the same.

Smells of corn husks and malt. Clear golden with a thick head and good lacing. Moderately sour and grainy. Very average.
