12oz bottle. Poured a clear golden-orange color. Head was foamy and white with good retention. The aroma was of yeasty bread dough, light grassy hops, and a hint of graham. Delicately sweet on the tongue and light to medium bodied. I tasted bready malt, biscuits, and subdued noble hops. Occasionally I detected a bit of pear. There was also a hint of caramel in the finish. Simple, but pretty nice.

Jul 10, 2008 pours light golden color with quickly disappearing head. scent is of amonia and some smelly feet. taste is a little better, but still has some stale taste to it. Maybe it was an old bottle, but either way, it didn’t taste very pleasent. I wouldn’t purchase this again.

Jul 10, 2008 pour is light golden with little head. Aroma is a little ass like but the flavor is very sweet and smooth. Very little hop character. Decent or a pils. Probably won’t buy again however.

Jul 9, 2008 Color of straw with a thin white head. Lactic malty aroma with a hint of fruit. Taste of cereal malt, some tartness, spice and mild floral notes. It has a bit of the Saaz hoppiness I associate with a Bohemian Pilsner like Pilsner Urquell but muted. A bit of minerals on the finish along with some caramel and brisk carbonation. Seems more a Vienna than a German Pils but I ain’t complaining and I dig the old-timey art deco label.

Jun 29, 2008 Darker than what I think of as a pilsener. Full mouthfeel, aroma and taste of spicy Euro hops. Definite twang on tongue during sample. I’d give this to anyone asking for a crisp lager.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottled. Pilsnener? Who got to vote on that classification? Not even remotely a pils IMHO. Maybe more true to the Vienna style? Cloudy appearance, very malty and no real hop character at all. Not a bad beer, but weird to call this a classic German pils.
