UPDATED: AUG 18, 2011 Pours yellow gold with a tall lasting creamy head that slowly recedes leaving behind it’s fluffy remnants. Smells fresh and brisk. Medium full nectar with excellent carbonation. Rich and full on the palate with a dense malty backbone. Superb use of hops bittering this up beautifully. The finish lingers. Excellent session brew.

Originally reviewed: 11/4/11. I have wanted to try this one for awhile, and now that Full Sail distributes to NC, I got that chance. Picked up a 6-pack at my local grocery. Poured the final one into a pint glass for review. Pours a pale gold with a thin white head on top. Faint lacy rings cling to the glass. The nose is fresh and peppy, with floral hops and a big citrus aroma. Great crisp feel with a moderately high carbonation zip. Light buttery flavors meld with lemon zest and a flavorful hoppy finish. Faint peppery bite lings just a bit at each sip. This beer delivered. I dig it, and I’m glad I can get it locally now.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2009 From Bottle: Appearance: Pours a clear, dull yellow gold, with an impressive 1/4 inch dense white head. Aroma: Dry bready and biscuity malt. Taste: Moderately bitter crisp hopping and dry buiscuity malt. Finshes really clean. Mouthfeel: Crisp and refreshing. Overall: An amazing pilsener, with no corny twang, perfect sturdy bitterness, and would make a great picnic/session beer. Godbless Full Sail for maintaining respect in the Lager community.

Bottle @ home. Clear, dark golden yellow appearance with a big, off-white head. Crisp, pale, pils malty, organic hoppy nose. Really a nice crisp, slightly grainy, pils malty flavor with some earthy/grassy hops. This is just a really well executed, solid beer offering from Full Sail. Excellent session beer and a very nice summer brew.

Enjoyed at 10,000 feet. Pours clear gold with a fluffy white head in my REI cup. Citrus herbal hops are light in the aroma. Crisp pale malt flavors with a strong piney herbal flavor. Strong hop flavor but not bitter. Dry finish. It really reminds me of bells q lager. Excellent. 7/4/8/4/16

12oz twist-off bottle. Pours golden yellow, creamy white foam. Beautiful lacing. Light aroma shows off the use of premium ingredients. You can smell the malt; gentle and soft use of hops. Nice simple malt gives flavors of straw, biscuit, and a touch of cereal. Hops give the aroma and flavor of soft, earthy, herbal, floral character. What a great session beer. Next to Urquell this is a premium pilsner. Yum.

A very satisfying Pils, indeed. Big frothy head and a creamy texture. Very smooth and pleasing.

Sampled on 12/8/2009. This pilsner pours a medium yellow gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal malts and spicy hops, slightly sweet. A medium bodied pilsner. The malts are cereal and bready. The hops are spicy and floral. Nice balance. Good carbonation. A nice crisp and clean pilsner. A great balance between the malts and the hops. Wish more pilsners tasted like this one. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

A good, full bodied pilsner. Lots of malt flavor, lager yeast in the aroma and flavor. Gold color and good carbonation. Well balanced, with a heavy palate. One of the better American made pilsners.

Clear,lovelly golden in colour. Large pure white head. Lashings of lace. Great spicy/grassy hop aromas waft up.Some malts show. Very malt centered beginning to the taste, then washed away by very livelly refreshing hops. Gives a kind of balance to the thing. Thicker than usual mouthfeel for the style. Great summer drinker. I am not sure this could be called a "Classic German Pils"..but it is certainlly a great PNW one!
