12 oz extra from trade. Pours bright yellow, big white head, big carbonation. Aroma of lemon, hay, yeast. Flavor is very dry, light lemon, yeast and malt. Not my favorite pils by a long shot.

Bought a 6 of this on day 1 at Penn State. Tons of young-uns buying 6 at this very nice store, Brewsky’s. Beer is pale and foamy. Yeah, it is a pils in the classic German style. Nice hoppy nose, German hops, nice palate, satisfying, a bit dry, but not too dry. Enjoyable.

Bottle (12oz). Pours a clear pale gold with an average size somewhat-lasting fizzy white head. Aroma: Yeah, that’s much better then the Pilsener I had earlier (Mama’s Little Yella Pils): Refreshing aroma of Euro Pils hops along with citrus hops, yeast and followed by pale malt. Flavour follows the aroma and is quite thirst-quenching -- now this is a Pils I like and would drink regularly! Medium bodied. Really good stuff.

Bottle. Pours a clean clear lemony yellow with a medium sized white head. Lemon and a little bit of hay along with a clean sweetness. Medium bodied. Spicy and slightly lemony, with a good bit of grain. Big bitter finish with a little lemon.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Very pale gold with a small, foamy, white head. Aroma: Spicy hops, a little grainy malt. Clean and straightforward. Taste: Noble hops, a little corn, light grass and herbal notes. Light and clean. Palate: Medium-high, smooth carbonation with a light mouthfeel. Medium, bitter finish. Overall: Not a bad pilsner, but not as good as Victory Prima Pils. Rebuy: No, but only because I prefer Victory.

Grassy with a light hop bite. Refreshing and went real well with some Chinese food. It could be a little crisper with a touch more hops and it would be a true summer thirst quencher, but it’s still nice as is.

For whatever reason I was completely underwhelmed by this beer. Weak, skunky and grassy. Some hint of lemon in the aroma. Poured a faint yellow with no head. Perhaps the tap was off; or maybe I just missed something. Did not enjoy this beer.

12 oz bottle received as an extra via trade.. Likely from TheEpeeist. Thanks, Chris? Pours a clear straw yellow, small white head, carbonation driven, dies to a small film that barely rings the and clings to the sides, the result is very minor lacing. Aromas are grainy, pilsner malts with their touch of stink, mellow hoppiness, bland cereal malts. Initial is grainy and light, light pilsner malts and bready malts, very light floral hops, light mellow sweetness lingers on the palate, lightly sweet mellow finish, faint grassy and floral bitterness on the finish balances the very light sweetness. A quencher, lawnmower type that is ok, better than several though.
