daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 4, 2009 Clear gold pour with a white head. Caramel malt, floral hops and some fruity tones. Flavor is sweet and has some nice light flowery hops. Clean and balanced. Pretty good. madvike (301), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Nov 4, 2009 Bottle - Light amber pour with a big, bubbly white head. Smells clean and sweet, wtih pils malt and flowery hops. Taste is more of those floral, perfumey noble hops on the finish, with a smooth grain flavor throughout. Real clean and balanced, with an understated sweetness. Suttree (2702), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 30, 2009 Kind of, um, bland? is that fair? Some bready, malty notes, but lacking any bite. Just no interesting at all. Of course, I could be mad that they took Hoptober off to put this on... tnkw01 (124), USA Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. Not a big fan of this style but for a pilsener, not bad. Clean, golden color, what you would expect from a pilsener. The aroma is like most traditional, american pilseners. Had a nice bitter flavor that would have been better on a hot summer day. Recommened at least once. NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Oct 29, 2009 Bottle at McClaren’s. Pours a light golden color with a fair head. The aroma is semi hoppy, certainly good enough to fit the pilsner description. It’s light, only slightly vegetal and crisp. The palate is again light and crisp. A little bit of malt character is here which reminds me of Fat Tire, but this is most certainly a lager. The esters give it away. Flavors of cereal, wood, and biscuits are here. Really, this isn’t a bad yellow lager, but I am puzzled as to why we just got this in the winter time. kuphish (150), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a two finger, foamy white head. Clear, golden body. Nice, spicy noble hop aroma with underlying, summery pils malt. Flavor is of crisp, clean pils malt and more spicy, herbal noble hops. Some mild floral notes. Very basic flavors, but quite good. Light-medium, clean body with lively carbonation and a moderately bitter finish. Overall a straight up, no nonsense Pilsener. Tasty, refreshing and repeatable. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Sep 22, 2009 Clear golden colour with a frothy white head. Aroma is malty with some grassy undertones. Taste comes across a bit too corny for my taste. What could be a refreshing beer is a bit off balance. Taverner (827), San Ramon, California, USA Sep 16, 2009 Fruity lagerish aroma. Flavor has notes of biscuit. Hoppy, but only in a bitter way. Not much in the way of aromatic hops.
