Poured from a can. Golden in color with a white head and lacing. Smells of malt, bread and a hint of sweet. Flavor follows the smell. Crisp, bright and refreshing.

12 oz bottle, poured into a pint glass
Appearance: Pours a semi-clear, golden color with an eighth of a finger of white-colored head that quickly dissolved away into a thin lacing of foam that partially covered the top of the beer.
Aroma: Fairly aromatic, with some bready aromas of toasted malt, imparting notes of biscuits and crackers. I get some notes of caramel, black pepper, and a touch of floral, slightly citrusy hops.
Taste: Like a traditional pilsner should. Bready, toasted malt up front, imparting flavors of cereal and biscuits, followed by some slight caramel-like sweetness, a touch of black pepper and coriander spices, and quite a bit of slightly bitter, piney, citrusy, hops.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied and very effervescent, as there is quite a lot of carbonation. With an ABV of 5.1%, there is no alcohol on the palate.
Overall: This is a nice pilsner. It’s not too hoppy, rather, it’s nicely balanced with some good, bready, toasted malt and caramel-like sweetness. I’m not a real fan of pilsners, as I usually find them to be too hoppy and harsh. That being said, I really, really, really like Tommyknocker’s Alpine Glacier Pilsner.
