Samuel Adams® Noble Pils is brewed with all 5 Noble hops for a distinct hop character and fresh taste.

The honeyed malt character from traditional Bohemian malt is balanced by delicate yet pronounced citrus, floral, and piney notes from the Noble hops. The winner of our 2009 Beer Lover's Choice® election, this beer was chosen by over 67,000 drinkers for its crisp complexity and refreshing taste.

"Best by 4/4/24"; drank 11/18/23 @ the Yarchives.

See-through pale yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big eggshell-colored head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lacing remained.

Fresh corn, mild caramel & faint skunky notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Sweet corn, mild caramel & faint skunky flavors.

Drinkable but I don't care for that light skunkiness.

Pours hazy golden-straw color with a good fizzy white head that doesn't last long, not much lacing, light grassy and flowery aromas. Bready and grainy mild sweetness turns hoppy and bitter with some dryness in the finish. Light bodied with a soft but crisp carbonated mouthfeel, very clean and crisp, very nice.

Good satisfying beer overall but clean finish which I expect on Pilsner beer isn’t there
