Kinz (3023) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - JAN 26, 2013
Beer 45 Asheville trip. Clear light gold, nice head. Aroma is crackery pils malts and floral hops. Flavor is a match, quite clean, with a bracing floral and slightly spicy hop finish. Really quite fantastic. Love finding a well made pils. Really a great beer to have fresh like this. A favorite from the trip.

PilsnerPeter (3019) - Flushing, New York, USA - JUN 22, 2009
Tap at ACBF 2009: Pale golden with a white film. Dry crackery pils aroma with a mild grassy character. Crisp body and a nice dry flavor. Crackery and very clean- lean but firm with solid saaz zest on the back. What a pils should be. Nice.

drfabulous (2994) - Lexington, Kentucky, USA - SEP 27, 2009
On draft. Clear crisp pilsner. Hard style to say yeah or nay to since I don’t care much for it. But for a pilsner, nice.

SpringsLicker (2836) - Tennessee, USA - JUL 3, 2006
Poured from a growler at kp’s cellar party. Dissipating, but decent white head over a clear gold body. Strong hop aroma. Hoppy, overly bitter for the style with a long bitter finish. The malt never gets a chance here. Good Bohemian Pilsners are favorites of mine and this needs just a bit of tweaking to get it all the way there.

LilBeerDoctor (2823) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 21, 2009
On draft at ACBF09. Pours a clear light yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of wheat and light fruits. Flavor is sweet initially with a light wheat and bready finish. Very refreshing and a good pilsener! 7/4/8/4/14 (3.7.5)

Elwood (2552) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - NOV 7, 2009
Serving: Draft. Appearance: Light gold color with a small, foamy, white head. Aroma: Light nose with notes of grass and a touch of grain. Flavor: On the tasteless side with notes of malt, grain, and grass. Rather unspectacular. Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a light, watery mouthfeel and a medium-short finish. Overall: Skip this one. There are much better Pils out there to be enjoyed. Not recommended.
