COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Check out our website at http://www.pigseyebeer.com/Main.htm Pig’s Eye Pilsner is the flagship brand of the award-winning Pig’s Eye Family of brands. Pig’s Eye Pilsner is contract brewed by Stevens Point Brewing (and possibly City Brewing) with 6-row robust barley malt and a combination of Cluster, Cascade and Fuggle hops, to achieve a balance between bitterness, aroma and malt sweetness. Enjoy!

(USA) Courtesy of AFI96, Thanks Waylo. Pours a golden color witha dissipating white head. Aroma is skunky,and the taste is slightly bitter and very boring. To think some people like this stuff is offensive.

I picked up a case of this stuff last night on sale for $17. The lady at the distributor told me that there was a small loyal following to it. Here goes nothing. Poured from a 12oz can into a footed pilsener glass. Gold in color with a big foamy head that quickly dies down.The liquid is a little still for a pilsener, only the odd bubble of carbonation here and there. Smells of malts and grass, slightly sour like a lambic. Sweet syrupy flavor that also has some lambic character. I guess their sanitation routines aren’t the best up in La Crosse. Actually if it weren’t for the faux-lambic contamination this beer would be extremely boring, but the sourness actually adds a slightly refreshing element to it. It will take me awhile but I guess I can work through a case of this.

Very simply, it’s like Coor’s with a better label. Just your typical skunky tasting American lager. I wasn’t really expecting a whole lot out of this, but was still disappointed.

Skunky tasting pilsener. I didn’t think it was that bad but I wouldn’t drink this again. Good cheap attempt at a beer.

Found this gem up at Shangy’s in Pennsylvania. I didn’t even make it to the counter when the girl behind the counter said ’Just the Pig’s Eye?!’. I can’t believe something like this exists. This stuff is rough at best. Don’t get me wrong; I can enjoy a cheap beer with the best of them but this is off-centered. I really don’t know what is smells like but it is putrid. Better going down and the hops are clear (thankfully). Very interesting.
