4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
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.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2011 Rerate 4/25/10: Don’t know how I had this rated so low. This is my goto session beer. Clean, tasty, easy to drink with a nice hoppy finish. Fantastic pilsner.
Pale straw yellow pour with a thick white head. Yeasty, grainy aroma. Bitter malt with yeast and cereal. Clean and easy to drink.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz glass into a Pilsener glass.
Appearance: The body has a bright golden yellow color with plenty of sparkling carbonation and great clarity. The head is a wonderful thick and creamy topping with good retention. It also makes great lace rings on the glass as I drink.
Smell: The aroma hits you in the nose with spicy floral and grassy hops over pale malt.
Taste/Mouth: Its flavor is a crisp clean mix of its aroma. Hop flavor steals the show with bold spicy floral and grassy botanical notes. Underneath there is a pale crisp malt base that finishes dry with some nice clean hop bitterness. The palate is light to medium bodied with an easy drinking light wet texture. Carbonation is very active and helps to clean the palate.
Notes: This is a great example an American craft beer take on a classic Pilsener. The hops are bolder than there Euro counterparts.

A: Poured with a large, creamy white head that slowly dissipated down to a full 2-fingers, where it stayed for the duration of drinking. Fair lacing on the sides of the glass. Body is light yellow and clear, with a slight touch of haziness.
S: Bit of cooked corn, but very minor compared to so many other pilseners. Fruitiness comes through the most... lemon, apples, and others.
T: An extremely refreshing, fruity taste that finishes with a nice, crisp bitterness. Just awesome.
M: Light-bodied with a creamy texture, and average carbonation.
D: Without a doubt the best pilsener I’ve had yet... and I don’t know if I’ll ever have a better one.

From a fluted glass. Yellow with a creamy white head that is lasting very well. Nose pleasant grainy malt and a brilliant, flowery hop profile dominate the aroma. The taste starts sweet with a nice blend of flowery and hops up front then some malt and fruityesters come through. Finishes clean, dry and slightly bitter. doesn’t seem to have too much carbonation. Very good hoppy session pils.

Beautiful looking pils that pours xtra light with a thick microbubble head. Saaz hops are prevalent in the spicy flavor and the Northern Brewer hops add a bit to the blackberry/currant-like snap in the finish and aroma. Biscuit and clean malt flavors are well balanced. Carbonation is crisp and refreshing. Absolutely nothing wrong with this American Made Pils.
