Pours pale golden with a decent head that reduces to a fine lasting lace. Aromas of citrus and herbs. Full nectar with good carbonation. Malty and finely bittered. This is a classic specimen with a long fruity finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 harrisoni (9614) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - APR 26, 2008
Bottle at The Ship & Mitre pub beer festival, Liverpool. Pale gold, thin white head. Bit of lager hops on aroma. Rather a good crisp finish, bit of lemon. It’s a pretty good pils. Crisp, refreshing and drinkable. Does what a pils should do with enough on finish to give it character.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 aracauna (2649) - Georgia, USA - APR 25, 2008
Pours a clear gold with a white head. The aroma is very mildly hoppy. The straw malt is there, but a little thin and watery. The better pilsners tend to be malty in their own way and this one isn’t.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ukoolaid (572) - Amherst, Massachusetts, USA - APR 21, 2008
Pours golden with a big white head. Lightly hoppy aroma and a light sweet dry taste. Light body and a bitter dry finish. Not bad.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 rds (230) - USA - APR 20, 2008
Very clear golden beeer below a big white head. Clean taste, I might, like more on a warmer summer day.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 PilsnerPeter (2958) - Flushing, New York, USA - APR 20, 2008
Tap at Sugar Lounge: Golden pour with great clarity and topped by a dense white foam. Slightly sweet pale malt aroma. Crisp texture. The flavor has a clean malt character, it’s slightly doughy, but evidently German.The hop presence is dry-ish and grassy. When it warms there’s an almost nutty touch. Simple, but quaffable and balanced.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 SpudClampDawg (1029) - Jasper, Indiana, USA - APR 16, 2008
12oz bottle: Another decent lager from the dollar bin. Pours a clear honey gold with a hint of red and a nice white cap. The nose is simple with balanced but soft grassy hops and buttery malts. The body continues this way and drinks nice and smooth. Bread and caramel notes emerge on the back of the tongue as a light bitterness offers a nice piney resin to the finish. Sure this isn’t super complex, but is that what it is trying to be? Another solid pilsner that I will drink during the upcoming heat of summer.
