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!

This is a pilsner? I thought this was a pale lager when drinking it. Lacks the hop bite common in pilsners. Taste is slightly sweet with some burning metallic notes in the finish.

Dark golden, mostly dead with a short-lived, fizzy, white head. Dry and corny aromas give way to pale malts/DME reminding me of weak Ovaltine. A whiff of herbal hops is light on the back end. Diesel fuel notes as it warms. (Don’t let it warm.) Bittersweet flavor leans towards sweetness and rings of a watered down malt liquor. A twang of sour, vegetal hops (?) in the finish.

Yellowish color, not exactly golden. Not even a quarter inch of head. Mild olive-like aroma. Not quite medium body, a little bit of generic sweetness, not quite offset by not quite discernable hops. A little bit of a metallic aftertaste.

Perhaps in a pig’s eye this is a Pilsener, but not to me. Why? Because there’s no discernable hop bitterness in the aroma or flavor, and that’s what makes a Pils a Pils. It pours a deep yellow body filled with lazily moving bubbles. The dincus head vanishes almost immediately. The aroma is a light malt with sweet corn syrup and apples. Same with the flavor, although the apples turn a little green. Oddly, tho’, it’s not completely repugnant.

Golden body, with a quickly-diminishing head. Hardly a lace. Corn, malt, and slight hop aroma. Flavor is an extension of the aroma. Somewhat fizzy carbonation, and that brought down the palate score for me. Semi-sweet malt/corn aftertaste. Not a very good beer, so I doubt I’ll have it again.

(Bottle) Pours yellow with little head. Light and sweet, but nothing special.

Can: Pours to a clear pale yellow with a medium white head that quickly fades. The aroma is lightly sweet corn syrup, grains, a hint of light fruity hops, and a bit of apples. The taste is bland corn, corn syrup, and just a hint of floral hops. Light bodied, medium carbonation, too watery on the palate.

Surprised this isn’t like Miller Lite and just claims it’s a pils, but is actually a pale lager. 12oz can. Pours a clear pale straw with a tiny, fizzy white head. Aroma of cereal grain, grass, and corn. Very slight earthiness--probably from the Fuggles. It doesn’t smell bad. Taste is a little bit sourand lemony along with the grass and corn. Thin palate and overly carbonated. I’ve had much worse.
