COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Summer turns the nearby Pocono Mountains into a true paradise, and we’ve created the beer to match. A luscious pale gold in color, our pilsener is crisp and light with a delightful malty sweetness and perfect balance.

Pours gold with medium white head. Aromas of hops and malt. Finishes with hops, mild dryness, and mild citrus. Not bad.

Golden body, small white head receding quickly to nearly nothing, malt and a mild spiciness in the nose. Slight spiciness in the flavor, with some evident off-flavors. Not much bitterness. Pretty weak.

The pale golden color is topped with a medium thick white head. The hoppy aroma is slightly sour and bitter with malt undertones. The flavor is well balanced, slightly sweet with a dry hoppy finish. Overall a pretty good pilsner.

Bought their Pocono Sampler 12pack (available by the case only....) This is misleadingly labelled "Pocono Light" with "traditional pilsener" in small letters - very odd, if you ask me. This was not as watery and light as I had feared. It actually had a little bit of hop flavor along with a sweet, yet thin, malt body. A bit weak, but could quench your thirst in a pinch

Clear, almost golden,thin head that dies. Very non-assertive nose with some sweet like malt evident. Palate has some nice fruit/malt flavors but they give away to that artifical ’filler’ taste. Carbonation is perfect but in the end, reminds me of saranac pils. Not bad for 88 cents:-)

Cheap, tasty... but mostly cheap... only 4 bucks a 6..... I’m not a big fan of beers that look like urine ;-)

A very tasty beer - but not a convincing pilsner. It seemed to have some traits of a Helles. Nice noble hop aroma, and very well-balanced flavor. Medium bodied and very smooth. Yellowish color - not golden.
