A very good Pils. The can says it's an American Pilsner. I would agree, but in a good craft beer kind of way. 4Hands website says it has Mt. Hood hops and no mention of Citra, but definitely tastes like it does. Straw colored, pretty clear, I can easily read glass printing through beer. Slightly sweet aftertaste.

If you like craft lagers, I think this is one most would enjoy.

I picked up a four pack of 16oz cans at Aldi's of all places while visiting in Illinois. I would definitely have again if I saw it out.

I am trying a can of this beer at the lobby of the Embassy Suites in St. Charles, Missouri whilst watching my daughter compete in Gymnastics.....thanks Covid!.....could view in person cuz Lindenwood won't allow. Anyway.....it poured a clear golden with essentially no head and no lace. The scent had subtle grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with soft pilsner presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a decent beer.

Pours a hazy golden-straw color with a good creamy white head that doesn't last very long with some lacing, grassy and flowery aromas. Bread, cracker like flavors with a mild sweetness that turns bitter with some dryness in the finish. Medium bodied , good carbonation. a decent pils.

This one is an American Pilsner brewed with Citra hops. Fairly hazy in the glass with a pale straw color. A normal pour produced a fluffy white head that lingered nicely. The aroma was definitely American with a mix of white bread, oranges, and limes. The hops were not over the top, allowing the clean malty notes to shine. Same with the taste. Slightly sweet, bready and crackery malt flavors along with the above fruity notes. Bitterness was somewhere between a Czech and German Pils level; this was much less hoppy that Pivo Pils, for reference. Medium bodied with a clean finish. Highly recommended.

Very slightly hazy yellow with a finger head that quickly fizzled away to a thing rim, some bubbles shooting up from the bottom. Smells like a pilsner does, grassy with a touch of pale malts. Tastes the same, the hops do come through quite nicely. Super refreshing and nice carbonation. Overall, a solid pilsner that doesnt try to be more than that.

Looks great in the can! Simple, no frills, farty canned Pilsner. Not overly sweet, and quite fizzy and refreshing. Great concert venue Beer. Solid stuff.

Straw yellow with excellent clarity. There's a fingernail of eggshell around the rim and covering a third of the top. Grassy German hops and pale malt greet me on the nose. The taste is a well balanced blend of light malt and grassy German hops. The mouth is light, crisp, and quaffable.

Poured out a pale yellow color with a small, fluffy white head. It smelled of grains, caramel and spiciness. It tasted of sweet caramel, some spicy bitterness and a touch of toast.
