There will be no working during drinking hours! Brewed with Bavarian malt and hops, this everyday Pilsner is bright, crisp and refreshing. We think it’s the perfect way to end the work day. Clock out, post-up and enjoy!

Appearance: Pours a clear pale straw color with a rocky white head that quickly dissipates.
Smell: Grains, very light honey, grass, lemon peel.
Taste: Delicious. White bread, crackers, very light nuttiness, cereal, grassy and a little bit herbal. The light to moderate sweetness up front gives way to a gentle bitterness towards the finish. Bread crust into the finish with a dry aftertaste.
Feel: Light bodied, well carbonated, dry.
Overall: This might be my favorite Pilsner. Great beer.

I am looking for different beers and since this is a local brewery and a type (Pilsner) of beer I like I figured I would try this beer.
It has an after taste that is hard to define but something I don’t like.

This is a solid, relatively bold German pilsner with a generous load of hops. It comes with a tall white head over a slightly hazy straw colored body.
Medium body with an excellent dry finish.

Pours a dark straw yellow with a two-finger white head that leaves a coating.
Classic pilsner aromas of white bread and cracker along with hints of herbal notes and lemon zest to start. It takes a few minutes of warming to bring out more citrus notes.
At the start of the sip, I'm hit by quite a lot of hop bitterness that then mellows and blends with white bread, biscuit, cracker, and slight honey in the middle. At the end, the bitterness comes to the fore again, building through the finish and aftertaste.
Light-bodied with medium carb and a smooth feel.
Overall, this is a nice rendition of a German-style Pilsner and I can see why so many like the style and this beer in particular. For me, the style has too much bitterness; I'd much rather get similar flavors and refreshment from a less-bitter landbier or festbier.
