12oz bottle from grocery store. Smooth, clean and crisp pils. Golden pour, decent foamy head, mostly grain aroma and taste, lightly hopped. Nice summer refresher

Pilsner malts and toast. A tasty low hop Pilsner. A smooth feel with little edge and a pleasant after taste.
A very pleasant beer. Not the best I've ever had, but far from the worst.

Malty and floral on the nose. Well carbonated and sweet on the first sip. Ends with a bittersweet hops flavor. A good daily Pilsener. Nothing to complain about this beer.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Trillium IPA glass.
Look is a pale orange with a full white head.
Aroma is a dry biscuit malt with a strong Pilsner yeast.
Taste is very light and refreshing with a dry finish.
