COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Premium pale beer, similar to the Bohemian pilsner style, but sweeter and heavier in body. The taste is more malty and less hoppy with smooth undertones. This recipe is near and dear to the Brewer's heart, it was his father's recipe, a 1950 Coal miner from West Virginia. It has been changed ever so slightly to meet today's standard of brewing.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 24, 2002
Straw color with a slight haze. Thick, lasting cream colored head. Decent lace. Slight dms in aroma. Not as clean as the other brews sampled. Stale malt flavors. Slightly acidic finish.

Skyview (4739) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - APR 17, 2007
Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub. Pours a light pale yellow brew with a short lived foam head. Very good lacing. Aromas picked up are light barley malt, bananas, a touch of pineapple and flowery hops. Taste is sweet, medium body with a clean finish.

Very good, rather sweet, medium-carbonated Pils; clear light yellow, grassy flavor, fairly malty and strong finish.

1FastSTi (2990) - Glendale, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 6, 2005
Pours to a golden body with tons of visible carbonation. The aroma has a butterscotch and honey flavors. Subtle leafy hops. I also notice the strange sweetness present in most of the beers due to the lager yeast that is the same throughout them. The palate is matched to the style. Something about this isn’t appealing.

Terminus (2538) - Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA - APR 28, 2003
ahh, yes, the classic pilsner. This is a more malty beer of the style as the desription says. also, the grassy-ness is also very strong, almost too strong. nonetheless, this would make a great beer on a hot Wisconsin july day!

StewardofGondor (1934) - Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 26, 2005
Clear pale yellow in color with a dissipating creamy white head. Nice crisp lemon aroma. Good refreshing quaff. Pale and bitter, but crisp and not over the top. Grainy, musky and starchy feel, some dry grass and pine. A good pils.

DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 9, 2005
Butterscotch aroma. Less candy in the flavor - it’s replaced with dry cracker malt and leafy hops. Bitter finish with a touch of butterscotch.
