This easy-drinking beer is crisp, classic, and crushable, with a light gold body and a pop of floral hop aroma. No cheat codes necessary. (But if you want one: up up down down left right left right B A start)

12oz can from the sampler pack, review from notes
I loved this one, just dry cracker malt and grassy hops. I could crush this all day, just pour it into my mouth with a garden hose hooked straight to the keg. So simple, and maybe boring to some, but this is a desert island type-a bier for me. Beautiful simplicity
Easy drinkin' good hoppin' dry pilsnerin'

11/7/20...pours golden, cloudy, with heavy fluffy white foam. Slight sweet pilsy nose. Straw notes. Clean smooth solid puils taste. Slight lemony bitter plays a balancing act. With a very natural sweetness.

Clear, bright golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: Crisp, floral, light hops, slight spice. Right on the money.
In the mouth: Clean, light, with a zippy, hoppy buzz on the palate. Slight citrusy flavor, but ultimately dry. An excellent example of utter censurability, with just enough pop to keep it interesting. Quite likable.

Pilsner not really being what I go for (got this from a mix pack), trying to evaluate this objectively, it is quite drinkable. It does not have a lot of flavors compared for ales but that is the style. It is very easy to drink, crushable as the description says. Reminds me of the beer I had in Prague, likely a pilsner as well. So easy to drink, not surprising they drink 2L per day in Republic Czech !! Can't compare with other pilsner at this time. Just had a mango sour that was not tasting much that left me disappointed, but this one does not as it is not supposed to be. Seem unlikely I would buy this again but Im glad I had it in the pack.

Pours a light straw color with two big fingers of head. The distinct notes of pilsner malt can be found in both the nose and flavor profile. The finish has a nice combination of hop bitterness and malty body with a floral note thrown in at the very back end.
This is basic but, sometimes, basic can be good.
