This golden-hued pilsner has a light, fresh body and clean finish. Bright, refreshing carbonation mingles with German and American hops to give this pilsner a unique Goose Island spin.

This is a 12oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. At first there was a good 1/2 inch of pure white foam that quickly receded to just a trace of foam. The beer is a clear almost orange in color with light carbonation. Where is the foam?
On the nose there is a light malt aroma.
Tastes like a regular beer with a dry bitter finish.
The feel is light with low carbonation and a bit on the dry side.
This beer tastes fine, nothing special though.

On-tap at Kanela Breakfast Club, Chicago, IL

A: The beer is clear dark yellow in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a short off white head that hardly died down.
S: Moderate aromas of grassy hops are present in the nose along with notes of pilsener malts.
T: The taste has flavors of pilsener malts with a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is a good representation of the style.

Serving type: on-tap

Tasted in a pint glass from draft at the Exchequer Restaurant and Pub on July 27, 2018. A golden hued pilsner with a light, fresh body and clean finish. Bright, refreshing carbonation mingles with German and American hops to give this pilsner a unique Goose Island spin.

Pours medium amber with a rapidly dissipating head. Bouquet of industrial cleaning solution. Taste is sharp and bitter. My overall opinion is that it tastes like a beer long past its sell-by date, and maybe it is. More like an ale than a lager/pils. Sorry, but it is just not a beer to my liking. That just my opinion and I could be wrong.

12oz bottle poured into a mug displays a clear straw colored body supporting a lasting fluffy white head of foam.

Aroma is crackers and corn.

Flavors add a slight spice bitterness.

Mouthfeel is crisp and clean.

Overall a good outdoor beer for Sunny warm days.

I am happy with this...considering I got a 15 pack for seven and a half bucks.....date on cans is 5 months ago....so that explains the price. It tastes good though....a lot of flavor for a pilsner. Maybe cans have a longer shelf life, since no light gets in?????
