| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours clear pale yellow with a small head that goes away a bit fast. Nose quite citrusy, quite malty and quite hoppy. Taste is malty and crisp. quite bitter, especially on the finish. Quite dry. Quite drinkable. Overall this looks quite bitter and not as fruity and malty as some other good pils I had. Let’s blame it on the uncertain freshness of the bottle ! HonusWagner (4), Florida, USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2009 I have very little experience with Pils, most of it unimpressive, but I was quite pleased with this beer. The aroma in a Pils is usually my least favorite part, but Prima has a nice mild citrus aroma that I find capable if not downright pleasing. The head is quite impressive, and the color is exactly what you’d expect from a Pils; I don’t really know what a 2 score for appearance would be, and I’m trying to be fair to the style on the score. Taste has the somewhat spicy note of the Saaz that you usually see in Pilsners, but it’s a bit more aggressive and has nice lemon zest finish. This is a very good beer, even a great one, and it’s eminently drinkable. I just wish this was the kind of beer we could buy for 7 bucks a sixer, or at least 12 for 12. philbertk (49), Seattle, Washington, USA

This was at the end of my night so notes are scarce. Aromas are slighly caramel but also a bit of earthy and grapefruit. Tastes fresh of citrus and finishes on a bitter grapefruit. potbeercollege (358), Boulder, Colorado, USA

Makes you want to drink a lot more than one.
