Bottle - Pours clear yellow with a fluffy white head. Smell is...whoa...is this cold product? Smells of skunked light floral and perfume hops and pungent pils malt. And metal. It’s crisp, but not delicate like I like a pilsener to be. After that initial blast, the skunkiness subsides a bit, but this sucker still doesn’t seem too fresh. The taste is roughly the same, more malt-forward to begin, with some floral/herbal hops sneaking in to begin the finish. Lightly sweet malt stays in the mouth through the long finish. I could see this being way better if the smooth edges were sharpened up a bit, but this feels like something that’s sat in the cooler too long.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of pils malts, noble hops, and grains. Poured yellow in color with a small, white head. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of pils malts, noble hops, and grains. Light body. Thin texture. Average carbonation. Lightly sweet, medium bitter, hop and pils malt finish.

It poured a pale yellowish color. The aroma was of a malt smell complemented by earth tones and some hoppiness. The taste was very grainy with slight sweet and bitter notes.

12oz bottle. Filtered yellowish copper color with a nice white head that settles out pretty fast. Lots of CO2 bubbles. Crisp sweet aroma. Somewhere between light and medium bodied, with a solid bitter edge. Not particularly as clean as you might like it to be, with some corny sweetness in the finish. Overall though, this is still a pretty good product.

Golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of grassy hops and corn. Taste is more of the same with a mild bitter finish. Crisp and bland, I’m just not a Pilsener man.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing this tasty pils. Gold body with faint head. Corn and faint hops on the aroma. Slightly bitter taste with more corn, malt and hops.

This is a nice pils. Gold color and moderate hop aroma, with malt and hop flavor. Mild bitterness.

Thanks to Skyview for getting this for the group. I finally get my hands on one! Gold color with no head. Light aroma of corn and Noble hop. Taste is slightly bitter. Dusty earth finish.

Picked up single 12-oz bottle at Brennan’s Country Farm Market in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear golden pale blonde brew with a creamy and fast dissolving white head. Nice lacing for a pilsener brew. Aroma of white bread grain malt, a touch of grassy hops, and some light pear fruitiness. Taste is light to medium bodied, light carbonation, fruity, with some white bread and citrus zest. Finish is slightly bitter, a touch of lemon zest, metallic texture and a light biscuit & pear aftertaste.

12 oz bottle. Tasted this one side by side with it’s cousin, Capital’s Special Pilsener. Poured a clear golden color. The head was white and fluffy with decent retention that matched it’s cousin. The aroma was not quite as nice. There was only some husky grain and white bread. It lacked the noble hop nose of the Special Pilsener. It was delicately sweet on the tognue with mild hop bitterness. Flavor was similar to the aroma, just a bit of cereal grain with a touch of light grassy hops.
