Light gold color with medium white cap.
Aroma of sweet malt and floral hops.
Taste on entry is mildly sweet malt and equally mild hop presence. Malt has a good flavor that's subtle yet more there than the usual AAL or light beer style. The hop presence really doesn't rise to what I think of as Pilsner level which is to say stays rather shyly in the background.
This beer is simply pleasant in an unchallenging uncomplicated way. Like the sort of chap you wish your sister would pick for her next husband.

Had this on draft at a restaurant. Was pleasantly surprised. One of the best pilsners I have had. I would have thought the ABV might be higher than 4.5%

12oz can from Toby. Pale golden pour with a thin foamy head. Grainy aroma and taste, biscuits , slightly vegetal. Oily feel, mouth coating. Recalls a cheap Euro lager.

L- This one pours up with a mountain of unrelenting foam. It is a straw color with a lasting head and lacing coating the glass from top to bottom.
S- weak smell. I can discern grasses and lemon primarily
T - very crisp and clean with notes of lemon, pineapple, and banana. The finish is clean with slight bitterness.
F p- medium mouthfeel with tons of carbonation
O- not my favorite pilsner of all time, but I wouldn't turn one down if offered.

Look - beautiful light golden color, transparent, with a generous foam head and excellent retention
Smell - lots of grains, robust in flavor, balanced by a tad bit of hops. nothing funky, and clean as it should be.
Taste - a bit light on the taste, and the malts that were much stronger in the smell don't come across as strongly in the taste. just a touch of hoppy bitterness, and has a good clean finish.
Feel - light bodied, high in carbonation, and right around average in ABV at 4.5% for this style.
Overall - a clean, slightly hoppy Pilsner that is easy to drink and moderately flavorful. a good beer all year round.

I'm trying this at the Water Tower Taproom in Montgomery, Alabama. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had faint grain and yeast notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with biscuit flare. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.
