Pours a brilliant golden in color, with minimal haze. Shock-white head, moderate carbonation. Lacing is good.
Nose is grassy and a fair bit spicier than usual, with a fairly typical malt profile for a Pils. Not very much rye character overall, and it's far from the profile of their draught-only Anniversary series Roggenbier (from 2009).
Mildly sweet and lightly-scrubbing on the palate. Sharp hop bite makes an impression about midway through the drink and lingers pleasantly, but hardly overpowers. Some biscuit malt, and a fairly astringent (yet balanced) take on the style. Notes of light-skinned fruit, along with a much lighter tartness.
Mouthfeel is good, and is not-quite medium bodied.
Overall, it's not bad for a beer that is a year old! This was a very close second to the "1984" for me, out of the 30th Anniversary sampler pack.
Served chilled in August Schell-branded "Rastal" 200mL "Rastal" Pilsener glass, circa the 'Merchant du Vin era.' Hattip to grantcty for the glass. ;)

Hoping this is the 30th Anniversary Pilsner Series Roggen, 'cause that's what I'm going to review.
Another in a fine gift of Minn beers from Chaz and Grant.
A -- Pours a clear gold with a firm white head that holds up well.
S -- Sweet malts, spiciness from the rye, light citrus character from hops, mild DMS.
T -- Spiciness from the rye right up front that melds into a lightly sweet malt character and even spicier hops. Finishes bitter from hops with a touch of citrus and the rye spiciness.
M -- Mouthfeel is quite soft, finishing dry. The body is light to light medium.
O -- An easy drinking beer with great character that stands out from other Pilsners without trying to be a Pale Ale. Another in this line that needs to be more than a limited release.

Sye is very light on the aroma. Holds characteristic qualities of Schell lagers. Soft malt, but with minimal hopping here.
Very clear and pale yellow in my pils glass. Smallish head settles out quickly.
Light spiciness in the flavor too, but it is there. More hopping here, but not strong. And the soft malt. Creaminess with the feel and carbonation. A touch of astringency to the taste and feel, plus some expected drying in the end.
Let me see where this goes with a little warming. Seems to take on a little nuttiness as warms and is a bit more flavorful if allowed to warm.
