Pours extremely light yellow in color with hardly head, slight lacing and not much carbonation. Smells of floral hops, and fruits. Taste is severely lacking any flavor at all. Not worth boiling hotdogs in! If you did the resulting oily liquid would have a ton more flavor. This is not good at all.

Deep golden pour, smallish white head. aroma of malt, grain and dare I say manure? Flavor is better than I thought it would be. Still pretty bland...but that is the American way with pilseners! Grainy and malty with very little bitterness. Refreshing enough.

Golden amber with a nice light orange head. Moderate visible carbonation. Faint aroma is sweet malt and honey. Flavor offers some malted and unmalted barley along with honey. Light floral effects along with some earthiness. Unexciting, but not bad at all for the style. Quite drinkable.

Pours a clear, medium-golden color with a quickly fleeting white head. Virtually no lacing is left on the glass. The aroma shows cereal grains, faded floral hops, a touch of honey, and not much else. Flavors, too, are lacking substance, but are not offensive in the least. Wheat and barley are sweetened with honey, while lightly peppery, floral hops lend a balancing character. The body is substantial for a Pils, but I’m afraid that’s coming more from sugar than anything else as it gets a bit sticky for the style. Overall, not that bad, but not that great either. Its just kind of boring.

Mild grain aroma. Pale golden with thin head; clear. Grainy (cereal), dull flavour. Watery, with mild bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours darker gold with a good sized white head.light hop aroma and carmel. Light to the palate. This beer has a nice pils flavor. Too many pils taste like a lager. This beer i would buy again.
