Pours a nice light golden colour. Small head that doesn't last, initial taste is yeasty that quickly balances itself out with mild hops and a floral profile. Finish is yeast and floral, definitely a good summer beer!

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 16 ounce can into lager glass, unreadable can dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, cracker, white bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malts and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, cracker, white bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Light lingering resins. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is a delicious Czech pils. All around great robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish; not aggressive. very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Perfectly balanced between clean pils malts and earthy noble hops. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Nice clear golden color with white cap and lacing.

Aroma of bready malt and sharp, herbal hops.

Taste of fresh bread and edgy, herbal hops. It's a good flavor, malt is substantial enough and the hops give a spicy bite like a rosemary herbed loaf. Very clean, refreshing and certainly a step above ordinary.

Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

Overall a good impression. Not as malty or as bitingly hoppy as say, a Czech style Pils but much more Pils like than a lot of others that bear than name on the label.

Great because it has a sane ibu for this genre. Smooth, but lacking salt. A touch of salt would depress the alcohol vapor pressure and make a lower hopped pils even smoother. Before chemists,, there were Brew Meister's. The latter still rule.

Pours a clear golden yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells like pale cracker-y malt and not much else. Bready, grassy, slightly earthy hops with a lightly bitter finish. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated. Definitely on the bitter side for a pilsner but very drinkable.

I grew up in Milwaukee and anyone who lived there before the mid 2000s will remember the distinct beer yeast smell that randomly overtook swaths of the city. This beer is that smell, the good, the bad and the downright beautiful. If you grew up in Milwaukee or know the smell I would try this beer. It tastes like working class nostalgia.

Pours a darker golden with healthy frothy head. Smells like Milwaukee. It's not just all yeast but it's very present. Tastes like the best yeasty beer you ever had. I'll be honest sometimes the yeast was a little overwhelming. Not as crisp as some pilsners I love but the maltiness makes it very tasty. I think this beer would be best if it was drank as close to frozen as possible to try and make up for lack of crisp. I gotta say I love it.

L: brilliant gold with a slight haze as streams of bubbles rapidly rise to the surface under a lacy 1" off white cap with very good retention

S: Spicy hop and oyster cracker aromas stand out supported by bread dough and bread crumb.

T: Bread dough and cracker start the flavors seasoned with traces of pear. It has a very pleasant, moderately assertive, crisp and snappy bitter finish that lingers.

F: Fulton Pils is creamy but has some tingle with a medium to medium low body and medium high carbonation

O: This is a full flavored Pils with well developed hop flavors and bitterness. The beer has a little extra yeast character but drinks refreshing and easy.

Pale gold with a nice dense white head. Slightly cloudy. Grainy, yeasty, slightly sour and clean herbal continental hop aroma. Nice presentation. Late hit on the hop flavor with the start being neutral but enjoyable clean pale malt. The bitterness hits moderately big (my early bottles it seemed bigger) and blends to a semi-dry and long finish. Herbal hop flavors. Get some of the yeast and sour in the taste too.
Light moderate feel but it doesn't feel small. It does feel soft and nice at that.
Very enjoyable.

12oz bottle, no date

This could be the beeriest beer I've ever beered. The beer is ok, but the beer is where this beer really shines. Very beerable, with a small smattering of foam, nose of sweet corn and Noble hops, tasting like dad's off-brand if it was jam packed with goodness.

Simple but Great. Better than the sum of it's beer

Pils pours a cloudy copper with a very small head. Nice creamy and crisp aroma. Taste is creamy, with a touch of skunk. Good body and feel. Overall, decent, nothing special.
