I am not a huge fan of pilsners, let alone American brews. However, this is hands down the best pilsners I’ve ever tried, and now one of my new favorite beers.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2007 Massive white head that will not disiipate and forms Alps-like structures, yellow in a pilsner glass. Slightly hoppy, sweet aroma. Very hoppy flavor profile, a bit sweet with hints of dark fruits. Complex. Finishes in balance of bitterness and light caramel. Was looking for a world class American pilsner and found it. Wonderful.

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2010 Bottled. Beautiful pale yellow (very pale indeed) beer with a lacing white head. Absolutely fantastic aroma of sweat, gooseberries, pineapple, clotted cream, wonderful hops, blood orange, rose, elderflower, wild strawberries and basil. Great taste where the gooseberry component is rather present. A cheeky interpretation of the style. Long dryish finish which is reminiscent of tropical fruit. Good bitterness. Complex. Definitely a top notch Pilsener. Flawless. Incredible. A "must try" for any fan of the style.

12oz bottle. Aroma of honey, citrus hops, white wine. Average sized foamy white head that mostly diminished and left great lace. Light yellow gold hue. Clear and sparkling body. Flavor is sweet and fruity with a slight crisp hop finish. Palate is lively and watery. Light bodied and refreshing. Wow, what a great beer. Very refreshing and quite drinkable. Far and away the best pilsener I’ve ever had.

bottle- the best out there for me- super huge saaz hops nose, followed by a crisp hoppy bite and sufficient pilsner malt support- Wow.

I really like the way the hops are the focus of this, the malt and yeast support the flavors of the hops. I could drink these any time since the noble hop flavors are there and fresh with some nice herbal and floral elements. The finish is dry which keeps you coming back for more. Prima is a great example of an American Pilsner that pays tribute to German Pils yet puts their own stamp on it.

The best German style American made pilsner. It has a nice little hop note, and a great finishing bitterness. This beer is very reminiscent of a Bittberger or Rataberger except better.

A bit wild and too bitter when you crack the bottle open. Needs 10 minutes or so resting in a glass to calm down and lose the metallic aftertaste. Then it becomes a champion german style pils, perhaps with a fruitiness that resembles a Vienna Lager?
