Poured into a franziskaner weizen glass, this beer is light straw colored and clear with a nice 2 inch white head. Leaves some scattered lacing as it reduces to a cap of foam.
Aroma is grainy up front and grassy in the back.
Taste is of cereal grains and dough with an herbal hop tinge at the end. Pretty typical.
Smooth and sparkly, very easy to drink.

On tap at the Huber Haus. Pours a beautiful golden yellow with a substantially present thick white head. Solid aroma of Saaz hops? Nice grainy malt aroma as well. Absolutely delicious pilsner body with the right amount of malty bitterness with a hugely easy drinkability. Great pilsner vom fass. Bill the owner, claims that InBev has stopped importing Spaten Pils into the US, so if you want this beer, you’d better find it fast. The Huber Haus has the last 12 kegs that it will ever see as of 1/11/8.
