If I ever see a new German pilsner in a supermarket, I shall always give it a try. However the hops extract isn't the best sign.
Fairly pale colour, quite carbonated and big bubbles in the head. Aroma is very faint, similar to a very cheap budget pilsner. Very faint German hoppiness.
Taste is better than expected from the appearance and aroma. Quite light malt, with complex hoppiness that dominates. I'm detecting flavours of English rich tea and hobnob biscuit, and some interesting bitterness. It's not at all sweet, and the bitterness tingles on the tongue. It's a very light beer and mouth feel, easy to drink, but still has enough flavour sensations to make it interesting. Hops are bitter without having any major fruitiness or floweryness...maybe some slight bitter dates and bitter plumbs..but the buscuittyness dominates the flavour,and mixed with the bitterness, works really well.
Not amazing, but better than the average pilsner for sure, Unfortunately it doesn't quite have the bitter kick and mouth feel of a great German pilsner such as Radeberger.

500ml can, day 5 of the Costco Canada 2014 Beer Advent calendar.
This beer pours a clear, very pale golden straw, um, 'colour', with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some sparse "I'd like to teach the world to sing" holding hands lace around the glass as it quickly wafts off.
It smells of bready, grainy cereal malt, a bit of indistinct warm citrus (lemon, maybe?), faint petrol phenols, and earthy, leafy, and mildly grassy hops. The taste is pretty much in line - a slightly less engaging grainy breadiness, wet breakfast cereal, ethereal tart citrus esters, tame gasohol, and a less than enthralling earthy, weedy, and dead floral hop bitterness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its alternating fizzy and frothy manifestations, the body medium-light in weight, and moderately smooth, with a wee clamminess arising as it warms. It finishes mostly dry, the crackery malt holding fast, while the middling noble hops do little more than sniff around.
Not a particularly memorable version of the style, for good and bad reasons alike, but I suppose it's drinkable, especially given the lower ABV, its participation in the 'stored away' effects of the Advent calendar, and that typical German lager center of the road nature.

Pours clear straw-yellow beer with decent white head, leaving scanty laces. Metallic nose with cereal tones. Banal and plain malt taste with weak hop bitterness, low carbonation. Watery and boring beer with unpleasant aftertaste. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want to be disappointed by german beer.
