12 oz. Hazy milky golden color with a small foamy white head. A nice earth bitter nose with some sweetness and grass. A nice malt flavor with a touch of spice and a great bitter tea finish. A really light beer that I know I would enjoy on a hot summer day.

This rating is from memory. I enjoyed a a glass on tap and a bottle of this excellent pilsner back in 1991 when all brewing occured at the Stoudt’s steakhouse. Back then, you could only drink it on tap at the restaurant or buy a champagne-style bottle on premises to take home. This is clearly one of the best American pilsners available; very much like Victory’s Prima pils. Pours a bright clear golden yellow with a big fluffy pils-type head that lasts and laces the glass. Clean crisp pale malt sweetness along with just the right amount of hop bitterness. Absolutely delicious and thirstquenching.

Nice pilsener. Had this on my birthday. Aroma of citrus mostly. Pour was a medium gold with a nice 2 finger white head. Taste was very good..lemon and and a hint of wheat (?) in the front with a nice hoppy bite in the aftertaste. Nice carbonation brings this beer home. Not on the same lines of some of the German’s, but very good for an American brewer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 nearbeer (2572) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - NOV 27, 2007
355 ml. Clear pale golden with a medium and lasting head. Aroma of sweet n’ spicy lemon grass. Initial honey flavor is balanced quickly by some bitter herb and lemon that end this beer crisply yet with a delicate touch. Palate is light-bodied and kind of airy.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 BarleyBob (18) - West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 24, 2007
Pours a vivid pale golden color with a moderate, pure white head. Perfectly clear, effervescent, with lots of carbonation. Very little aroma. Almost no malt flavor, with a dry, slightly bitter hop finish. Was an almost perfect match with the cold chicken sandwich I was eating at the time. I am not a big fan of pilseners, but this is an enjoyable beer.
