3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 CIPS514 (77) - Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA - OCT 26, 2008
I was intoxicated at this point but I remember it being a good beer. The pop top was nice and fun and best of all safe. It prevented the cap from flying around and potentially hitting a small child in the eye. Obviously I was intoxicated at the time I wrote my thought on this beer. I am just repeated what I wrote at the time I enjoyed it.

When someone is able to take a very basic beer, i.e. a German Pilsner, using only ordinary ingredients, without showy flair or fancy addiditves, and does that to perfection, then that is a beer worthy of high praise. This is that beer. Wonderful grassy flavor with a balance of sweet and subtle bitterness this is a drinkable but complex product. Best of its kind.

500ml bottle: poured light yellow with a medium white head. Moderate aroma of grape and apple. Flavor is crisp with apple and grape, finishing up with a nice bitterness. Good.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 spikester (602) - Salem, Oregon, USA - SEP 25, 2008
Pours gold with very large white head and plenty of lacings. Aroma is very potent Pils and no skunkiness whatsoever. Taste is full tasty Saaz hops with just enough malts to perfect the style. To use an overused expression, this is an "awesome" Pils. Wish it wasn’t $3.00 US for a 21 ounce bottle as I would make this my regular Pils. Hey, I might do it anyway!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 DrDavid (957) - Johnson, Vermont, USA - SEP 15, 2008
(Bottle). Nice grass and bready malt aroma. Golden with thin white head. Flavorful malty taste, along with yeast and a touch of bitter. Very nice transition to the finish, which is long and pleasantly bitter. An excellent pils.

Bottle. Aroma of grass, hay, crackery malt. Flavor a bit metallic with the same notes, quite earthy, earthily malty. I believe this is my first Classic German Pils outside of Warsteiner, which apparently does not taste like said style, and while it tastes like a good beer to me, not sure how much I like it.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 LilBeerDoctor (2568) - East Setauket, New York, USA - SEP 5, 2008
Bottle. Pours a light yellow with a small foamy white head. Aroma of wheat and light spices (pepper). Flavor of stale wheat and cardboard. This isn’t very good. It just doesn’t have any flavor.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 asheft (2032) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 31, 2008
[bottle--thanks pivnizub!]
Aroma is sort of grassy but with tons of hay and honey and maybe a note of ginger...delicious. Bright golden with not so much white stuff on top. Excellent malt flavour that’s perfectly offset by noble hops. Gentle bitterness, with plenty of pleasant hay. Really a top notch PIls. Medium body and crisp with medium carbonation and a clean finish.
