Pours a nice gold with a generous white head. Aroma is grain and hop with slightly-detectable malt. Taste is grain with a crisp hop finish and barely-there sweetness. Remains crisp throughout, though nothing special.

One of my personal Summer favorites. I believe they use to call it American Pilsner. ITs wonderful for parties. Very smooth and very crisp. Light and fulfilling. Women love it, saying, "Boy, this is Beer, This is really good"! I love its aroma, breadlike and with a very slight citrus hint.

Cloudy golden appearance, moderate head formation. Malty sweet aroma. Malty sweet palate, pretty dry, mild peppery spice, slightly bitter/sour finish. Respectable pils.

Light in color, light in flavor, easy to drink, nothing stands out about this brew.

Must have not been that great, because I don't remember that well. Light gold color. Light in every way.

Light bodied and colored. Sweet malty nose and a smooth semi-bitter finish. Not bad for a pilsener.

Weak and bland. No real hops. The only real flavor is sweet malt which seemed badly misplaced here. A wreck of a beer.

Very light golden color with a light head lacing on the surface. A little caramel and stale fruity aroma. A light caramel flavor...refreshing but, with an oily palate.

Draught. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, light bread), lightly hoppy (herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly bitter, lightly sweet. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Too sweet and not much aroma.

At Karl Strauss in Universal City, they had this named "America’s Finest Pilsner". Yeah right. Light golden color, odorless, and tasteless.
