Pours a really light straw color... about as light as coors light. Aroma of saaz or german style hops... spicy backed by a little bit of malt. Flavor is slightly biting bitter from the hops, with a nice squeaky clean malt flavor. This is a really good pilsner!

Poured from bottle into a Weizen glass. Not much of an aroma outside of a lemon zest. A great outdoor session beer with some hops up front to a sweet finish. Nothing shocking.

On tap at RnH (Midtown, NYC): Tastes like corn and crisp banana. All pilsners taste the same to me and unfortunately, this one’s no different. Watered down, crisp and clean. There you go. Pilsner. #043 on 01072009, DG.

Tröegs Sunshine Pils is a clear, pale golden beer with a nice, elastic white head that has great retention and lacing. It has a fruity, grassy aroma with perhaps a note of pine. It has a smooth medium body with a gritty, caustic finish. It tastes nice and bitter with fruit and wood flavors. It demands attention. It leaves you thirsty, but it tastes nice.

Bottle. Poured effervescent gold with a light white head. Aroma was slight banana, cereal, light maltose, light phenols, and crisp yet floral noble hops. Flavor was lightly fruity, light caramel malt, cereal, mellifluous, pollen, and floral. Palate was light but carbonation provided some creaminess. Sadly it finished with a lingering celluloid bitterness.

bottle from zeno’s in state college. Pour a yellow with zero head. The smell is of citrus with some hops. The taste is the same as the smell. This is a very refreshing beer very crisp and nicely balanced.

Pours a golden yellow - very lightly colored. Not much of a head - if I didn’t know better, it could be confused for a standard run-of-the-mill pilsner. Taste is very refreshing. You can taste the hops hidden in the background, but it’s not very overpowering. A very drinkable beer. A bit fizzy on the palate. All in all a refreshing beer....very sessionable.

Sample at the Troegs and Dark Horse tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 6/5/09. Clear gold pour with a medium white head. Lagery aroma with mostly malt and some hops. Crisp lager flavor with a bit more hop than malt.
