If I could have a one word rating this one would be "horrible". Picked up cheap at Trader Joe’s and still overpaid. Pours copper and is very dark for a pils. It also has a sudsy loose off-white head. The aroma is buttery and smoky, almost meat-like ~ "how in the blue hell is this considered a pils" is going through my mind at this point. The body is thin, biting and unappealing. The taste is simply terrible with a hint of pils at the beginning, then metallicness seeps in, some mustiness and then finishes with smoked meat. This is just plain bad. There are plenty of good bargain beers for a buck a pop, this is NOT one of them. Avoid this one.

Jul 3, 2008 I didn’t think this was bad but i am not very familiar with pilseners yet. i liked the bready malts but the hops were lacking. really fast finish. sort of weird metallic aftertaste too. still not bad.

Jul 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of drewbeerme. Pours a clear straw color with a small disappearing white head. The aroma has light sweet malt, a hint of fruit, and dusty grass. The flavor is light sweet malt, grass, and dust with the dust being the major player. I am not a fan of pilsners, but this is really not very good.

Jun 24, 2008 Deep amber with 2 inch white head, no lacings. Taste Saaz hops dominate the sweet malts. Nice dry bitter finish. An O.K. brew.

May 18, 2008 12 oz bottle from Trader Joes. Pours a copper color with a white head that quickly vanishes. The aroma is of sweet malts. The flavor is watered down sweet malts with a touch of biter hops. The mouthfeel is unimpressive as the beer pretty much went flat in five minutes. The finish is short with lingering saccharine. Overall: not recommended.
