0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Absolute crap. If they put more corn sugar in this beer it would have been served on a cob. The one thing we thought fun was finding the few common words that allowed us to communicate with German travelers- sh!t beer." Tourists brew. Fortunately the FINAL beer in this otherwise nice town. Other Atlantic products we had were nice, respectible brews that went down nicely, even if not extraordinary.
AVOID THIS but other Atlantic products desire a sustained audience. Select anything else. BEAUTIFUL Maine is better than this.

Not much to speak of. I am surprised it ended up having this score. Bland is the key word here, Mild citrus in aroma. Bohemian or other type of pilsner it is not. Unfortunate they named it as such.

22oz body, thanks chriso. Medium off-white head that mostly dissipates. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, some straw. Taste is medium sweet, bread, straw, some honey. Soft light body. Nothing offensive, but fairly bland.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
My Bottom Line:
Muddled herbal hops and shy bready malt flavors are bothered by a dusty edge in this almost crisp Lager.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A nice sheet of foam covers the hazy golden.
-This is nowhere near any true Bohemian Pilsener I’ve had.
-A citrusy fruitiness is mostly present in the aroma.
-The big bubbles and rather lean body make for easy drinking; if it weren’t for that dusty component...
-Sweet barley notes are shy and unpolished. Far from any good BoPIls.
Bottle.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(22 oz. bottle from Global Beverage) Pours slightly hazy golden, becoming cloudier and more bronze-amber deeper into bottle. Tall, off-white head in my pilsener glass recedes to a lumpy, frothy cap. Aroma of honey, bread and vanilla, and as head recedes there is grass and some rotten egg. Mouthfeel fairly nice and malty-smooth, light prickliness, lightly dry toward finish. Flavor is doughy-sweet malt overlain by a light pine bitterness leading to a nice little piney-bitter bite in the finish. Finishes fairly crisply. Not bad, perhaps like a junior Rogue Uberfest.
