12oz bottle: pours a clear pale golden with a spotty lacing white head. Has a lightly sweet pale malty nose with some mild grassy hop notes. Starts with a light sugary sweetness and some mild buttery grains and herbal hops before a drier bittersweet finish. Pretty bland, but drinkable.

Ok, this won’t get stellar numbers, but for the price this stuff is as good as Schlitz. I was worried when I saw it was brewed at City (is that still true?). So it is fizzy yellow stuff, but a solid all malt type flavor, decent hoppiness to balance it away from being terribly sweet. I drank three pretty quickly and was still happy when the bill came.

Bottle. Better than a domestic pilsner, but you get what you pay for. Less than a buck a bottle. Do the math. Typical pilsner aroma, appearance, and taste except for a pleasantly sweet aftertaste. The palate is more firm than watery domestics and the taste purer.

Reacquainted with this in an odd way --- standing at Marshall’s Service Station in Spring Garden, Pittsburgh, one of the employees pulled a single out of his trunk and passed it on to me. Thanks kind stranger! Anyhow, this is an average Pilsener that enjoyed a good rep in Pittsburgh some time ago. Good to see it back in production, and it will surely satisfy the tastes of those who want a good drinking beer without any pretensions.
