3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle wife got for me from Wi. Had grainy aroma also odor of metal keg barrels. Hazy gold body with white head and some lacing left on the glass. Flavor was sweet malted grain and sourness present gave me a candy jolly racher taste. Slightly dry and sweetness lingers on the palate. Not bad.

Pale, but brilliant golden hue under a medium, frothy head. Floral, malt, bright aroma smells fresh. First taste is surprisingly hoppy. It takes a few sips to find the subtle malts in the background, but it is a worthwhile search. Nicely clean and even cleansing finish, a nice beer for a chili meal. Hoppy and bitter as an APA or IPA, but much lighter and more brisk. If this is what good pilsners are like, then maybe I enjoy the style after all.

This I liked. The Braumeister is very similar, though far less bitter. I felt that what this had was more body and flavor, as well as bitterness. I was happy to be able to find another nice session ale from this place. A great beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
355 ml. Crystal clear, pale golden with a medium sized, lasting head. Aroma is spicy honey, cereal grain, and grass. Flavor is honey on the front, slowly bittering to a grassy, lemon-herb, and very hoppy (for a pilsener) finish. Smooth body is thicker than most pils; maybe almost medium. Has all the same characteristic flavors of an industrial American pilsener, but the smooth body and taste of quality ingredients comes through anyway. This pilsener is to a BMC as a cheeseburger at your local grill is to a McDonalds.

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2010 poured almost clear with a yellow stain..The head started over 2″ thick but settled completely lopsided and evil..
the aroma was filled with straw, grass, soil, wheat, bananas...
Flavor was wheaty with banana flickerings..spicy..almost like a hidden hefeweizen..
re-rate. I like this much better than the 3.6 I originally gave it. Boost this mutha
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 Oz. Bottle. Fuming pour of milky hazed yellow-green neon, with a nice finger of dense crisp white head. Aroma is a soft subtle touch of sweet grains and mild bread. A hint of lightly ascerbic metallic-like hop currents flow gracefully. Flavor is a brawny kick of sweetened grain, in very classical fashion. It exhibits a surprising level of strong grain alcohols and rounding chewy oats. Decent depth of flavor, combined with light intricate fusels and a decently balanced wisping vapors of lemony dry hops. Not complex, as expected, but exemplary for the style and incredibly drinkable.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2010 Bottle. Looks like yellow piss with a white head. Aroma of grass, light floral hops. Flavor of wheat, light hops, maybe some light fruits, a little skunk. Quite flavorful, although I couldn’t quite identify all of the flavors. Very tasty, simple, easy to drink. I’d love this on draught. Great pilsener.
Update 3/7/10: Had another bottle which was super lemony, like sucking on a lemon drop. Plenty of other light fruits and sweet malt but the lemon really stands out. Tasty stuff.
