Our craft pilsner is refreshing and easy-drinking, with a bready malt backbone laced with noble German hops. A winning hand for both lager lovers and hopheads alike! Many Thanks to our longtime friend, Ted Vadella, for coming up with such a great brand concept.

Solid tasting and well crafted Pilsner. Easy drinking with nice flavor. Perfectly to style.
I wish there was a date on the can, the retailer added a date sticker to the carton. My sample was plenty fresh!
Update: Apparently, the brewery adds the date sticker to the outside of the carton. Seems like a nice idea.

I may need to revisit this one as I'm doubtful it was fresh. But it tasted fairly spot on for a German Pils, at least an American take on one.

Can received in a retaliatory porch strike occurring in Bif14 from @foundersasap
A dusky golden liquid with active carbonation streams forming a white one finger thick layer when poured into a footed Pilsener glass
Aroma is grassy, malts, bready , straw, hay
Taste is hoppy, spicy, malts, grassy
Mouthfeel is an Aggressive hop bite , sudsy bitter, mouth puckering dry finish
Thanks for sending me this one @foundersasap , I prefer the hop spice to more subtle and nuanced .

Pours a slightly murky golden yellow with a moderate (and somewhat less than expected) amount of fizzy white head that receded to a thin ring. Aroma has some nice herbal / floral notes mixed with some nice bready malt aromas. Taste is lightly bready with a nice little hop bite on the back-end. Not quite as clean / crisp as I would hope, but overall still a very tasty beer that is going down very quickly.

On tap at hopcat. Pours crystal clear straw golden, white head. Fruity nose. Not a clean lager. I taste victory or biscuit malt. Doesn’t belong in a pils. Bitterness is very firm, much too bitter for a pils of either persuasion. No hop flavor.
An ok beer at best but definitely not a good pils and not even a passable one. Skip this.

My review would almost be verbatim from Beejay below. Other than in my opinion,
I think the lingering hoppiness/bitterness is way too strong. Really close yo being an outstanding pilsner.

A: A hazy pale yellow in color with a lot of haze in it, and a small white head.
S: Lightly herbal and floral notes, with hints of light malt, and perhaps a touch of straw.
T: Lightly bready, with a slight sweetness. Fairly high bitterness with herbal and floral notes.
M: Light in body, with fairly high carbonation. Light and refreshing feel.
O: Overall a pretty decent brew. I think the bitterness is a touch assertive, but still within the range for the style.

Awesome and simple Pilsner! I love the Michigan-appropriate name of Euchre. There is a bit of that smell which reminds me of what was unpleasant about the smell of beer cans as a child, but the taste is great. I’ll grab a six-pack in the future.

I probably need to try this one again. The undated bottle I purchased in a mix 6er from a Michigan grocer poured a surprising brownish tint. It was not a very crisp pilsner. That's 2 strikes, though I may have insufficient information given the ratings from others. Maybe it was an old bottle. Other beers in that 6er were iffy. We're heading north again soon so I'll look for the beer in cans. With a good package date.
