This is an excellent summer pilsner, light and refreshing, good hoppy taste, nice biiter toungue feeling with a sweet dry finish, Been a big fan of Troegs for a while and this beer is no exception to the great lineup of beers from this Harrisburg Brewery

2007: The malt is lighter this year, but the hops are the same. The lighter malt doesn’t hurt the beer at all. It’s still the finest beer in the world. If I had only one beer to drink for the rest of my life, it would have to be this one. 2004: Year after year this proves to be absolutely perfect. It is tough to remember liking any beer this much. The most quaffable, fun but still interesting beer in existence. 2003: It is rather amazing how much of this I drank this summer. Finally, in early September, I realized whtat the elusive magical taste was: blueberry. This crazy hopped beer actually has a blueberry quality that works perfectly. One of my favorite beers in the world. 2003: Very lively beer. The malt is strikingly similar to Victory Lager. The difference is in the terribly long dry finish. It’s hard to overstate how long this finish is, really. At any rate, maybe not for those who want a very bitter Pils (like DeGroens), but a real treat nonetheless.

It’s a great beer! (He agrees). I sense some kind of Mexicano with fruity lime and other citrus. I like the aroma, especially. It looks golden, but has a heavy long-lasting flavor.

Marvelous thistle, sweet grapefruit, and honey aroma. Very pale yellow color, medium snow white head, coats the glass fairly well. Hoppy flavor ringed with honey, great balance and strength. Rose petal finish. Easily leaves a smile on my face. Mmmmmm beer!

Hops are very apparent, very nice light yellow color. Does not have the hop punch of the Prima Pils from Victory but the Sunshine is a very nice Pilsner with American IPA level hops. Very slight metallic aftertaste with nice maltiness.
