L: Very light gold, similar to honey color or lighter. Minuscule head. Scarce lacing but there’s some.

S: A thin yeast smell, doughy. Very typical common “pilsner” smell.

T: Similar to the nose. It’s yeasty and a little doughy, grass & lemony. It doesn’t stand out that much, pretty typical and average.

F: Dry finish but not a *super* crisp one. Still refreshing. Medium body for pilsner.

O: Its not bad, just very unremarkable. If you like pilsner you’ll probably be fine with this, if you like the bigger American Lager brands you’ll like this.

 

The oft repeated exercise, a pint can emptied into a clear Imperial pint glass occurs. There's almost no head, nor glass lacing, so it fits easily. The color is a bright light amber. It smells like an ordinary mass produced beer, which isn't unpleasant at all. Nice, but nearly indistinguishable flavor and mouthfeel will keep this from high ratings. Truly not at all bad, but you’ll probably want to spend your beer money somewhere else.
