12oz bottle part of ten pack sampler from world market.. very light golden color with a clean white head. aroma is musty and smells of yeast overtones.. very very corn taste with a pronounced malty presence.. the hops jump in towards the end of the sip with little consequence.. the carbination seems to tweak the beer away from its natural flavor and leave a synthetic pulse on the final aftertaste.. just okay.. just an okay pilsner

Light gold. Musty sweet aroma with a little florals. Dry and bready beer with a crisp hoppy finish.

Aroma of sweet malt and grassy hop. Hint of spice. Slightly hazy gold color with a white head that filmed immediately. Thin to medium bodied. Sweet fruit. Then a bready malt. The finish is a bit bland, but it is reasonbly bitter. Given the fruitiness, this is suggestive of an ale.

Bottle; nose of grain, sweet corn, and a little vanilla note; clear gold with a huge long lasting, glass lacing, white head; flabor has mild hop bitterness, a touch of corn syrup sweetness, and some caramel malltiness. Hoppy bitter finish! Very good Pils!

12 oz. bottle- color of clear amber , with a off whitish head - nose of bread , malt , a weird sweetness , and – crisp taste of burn nutty-ness , medium hops , decent malt , and slight honey - body is smooth , crisp , and with low to medium carbonation – aftertaste of light orange , hops , and that weird sweetness

This one is widely available in most NorCal stores. I’d never really gotten a chance to try it until the tasting. Aroma is cream corn, sweet with not much hop profile. Appearance is clear, nice head, white and appealing. Flavor had a saazy, hoppy bite but not much else. Didn’t seem really refined. Not bad though.

Bottle poured a clear straw color with a lasting white head. Aromas of straw, bread, light citrus and some light spice notes. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of bread, light citrus and a hint of spice with a crisp clean slightly dry finish. One of the better pilsners I’ve had.

tap. Pours more golden than your typical plilsener. Aromas of grain and malts. Flavors of malts but none of the mustiness thta a typical pilsner has. I would say in style it is more like an ale than a pilsener. Nonetheless this makes a good session beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear, light copper color with a white head. Malt aroma with a slight toasted notes. Toasted malt flavor. Clean and pleasant to drink. Grainy aftertaste.

Draft. Golden beer with a big white head. Creamy mouthfeel. Noble hops and some malt in both the aroma and flavor. It goes down smooth (and creamy), but there’s a bit of a metallic taste to it.
