Style: Classic German Pilsener
Kulmbach, Germany

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

bottle: what you’d expect from a ’bavarian’ pils. clear, light taste. a bit skunky smelling, but you don’t get much of that on the tongue. Some corn, biscuity caramel malts

It’s golden with a white, creamy head and the aroma has notes of light cabbage and malt. The flavour is slightly sweet with notes of malt, and a little cabbage and straw, and the finish is dry. Boring pretty much covers it.

Pilsner malt aroma with floral hop aroma. Clear and golden, with nice white head. Malty flavor with slight hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Carbonation is very nice. Good classic German pilsner. Tasty.

Maltier and sweeter than I expected...not that that’s a bad thing. Clear light gold color with a thin, lightly clinging white head. Hoppy aroma tempered a bit by a sweet corn tinge. Smooth, medium mouthfeel with a burst of carbonation up front. The hoppiness of the aroma doesn’t quite translate to the taste. There’s a punch of hoppy bitterness up front but that fades to a sweet malty finish. Nice beer.

(bottle) pours a clear yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of strawy pale malts, with a light tinge of honey and floral hops. flavour is herbal hops up front, with some shy grainy malts in the background, finishes rather dry. light to medium-bodied with average carbonation.

12 ounce bottle - $2.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours out a perfectly clear, yellow body with a medium-sized, frothy, white head. Smell: Moderate degree of sweet-scented graininess on the nose coupled with notes of noble hops and just a whisper of DMS. Taste: Subtly grainy Pilsner malts with a modest touch of imparted sweetness. The maltiness is balanced well by spicy noble hops that also yield a slight, grassy herbaceousness. Rather small, fleeting traces of DMS. Finishes dry, crisp, and clean. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Drinkability: It’s another hot, muggy, stinky in all the wrong places kind of day in Georgia and it’s not even summertime yet and as much I enjoy a full-bodied, hearty stout, I was definitely looking for something lighter and more refreshing to satisfy. While it’s not the punchiest pils on the block (this could be an issue of freshness, sadly there a no apparent dating codes on the bottle), it did fare well with me when it came to being refreshing and easily drinkable.

Clear golden with a large off white head. The aroma came out dry with grassy hops and malty hints. Flavour was quite dry with grassy hops and malty notes. Crisp and clean. Finished dry and bitter.
