This was in a multi pack that I bought while in Colorado Springs on vacation.
The pour was transparent yellow amber with a proud near white head that left good lacing.
The aroma was sadly lost on my Covid affected nose.
The taste was surprisingly good, the biscuit flavor from the malts was prominent and light grassy flavors played a supporting role with just a hint of hops in the swallow.
The feel was excellent, but maybe I was just so ready for a beer, either way it was eminently quaffable.
Good Pilsner, at least in my opinion.

 

 

Aggressive pour and a straw colored light yellow appearance. One and a half fingers of foamy white head. Thick lacing on the glass as the beer goes down.

Smell is like white bread crust with some grassy hops coming through.

Taste is like a malt forward lager. the grassy hops come in towards the back of the tongue. Nothing real complex on the flavor. Mostly malts and hops. Not getting like any grainy taste.

Mouth feel is light. Feels a bit full up front than than thins out and the hop back bite, slight as it is helps to finish it off. Slightly slick in the back of the mouth.

It fits the bill for a pilsner style of beer. I do give it extra for the appearance because of that cool thick lacing left on my clean glass. The beer itself is a good one. Like it says it is it tastes like a pilsner. And it does hit that grassy hop note like most Euro pils will. Good job and a shout out to Left Hand Brewing! Job well done.

 

nice pilsner beer refreshing but nothing special

Poured a pale straw color with a white 2-finger frothy head that dissipated slowly. Moderate lacing. Cracker and malt nose. Light malt, cracker, and lemon grass. Moderate body and carbonation.

This is a pretty good pilsner, though nothing you haven't had before. It's Left Hand, so I'll try it, but I think they are to the point where they specialize in the darker beers now. Nothing wrong with this one, it's a good light mild beer, just not as flavorful as some of their other stuff. A touch spicy with the hops, but not very malty. Good representation of the style, just didn't blow me away this time.

Pours a light blonde with minimal head. Carbonation looks solid. Smells of grass, lemon, maybe a hint of wine, and a sweet maltiness in the background. Taste follows the nose quite well. Zesty lemon peel, citrus and butter up front climaxing to a bitter, grassiness that lingers after the swallow. Lighter bodied but with a good amount of chewiness, this is a smooth, easy drinker that's finishes crisp and dry. This is a simple but nicely refined pilsener. It offers just enough complexity to be savored while also being a refreshing, sessionable beer. Cheers!

 

On-draught @ Max Taps Co., Colorado:

C / AVERAGE

 

12 oz can. Pours a slightly hazy pale straw, fluffy white head.

Nose includes bread-like malt and a leafy hop note.

Flavor begins with a bittering hop presence, the malt counters pleasantly throughout. Simple profile, but nicely done. Clean, crisp finish.

It’s a simple beer, but it’s well executed and quite refreshing.

 

Slightly cloudy bright gold appearance with a large white head that disappeared in a hurry while leaving good lacing. Muted aroma, a little on the spicy side with an herbal twist. Grainy malt taste, moderately bitter, still flirting with the spiciness of the hops before yielding to a more flowery, herbal aftertaste. Light-to-medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel leading to a short lived finish.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass a 2F white foam head fades in seconds to a spotty cover leaving a bit of loose lace on the sides of the glass. Color is 90% transparent and pale yellow.

On the nose I get saltine cracker, very mild yeasty pizza dough and some sulfurous green hop notes.

I taste rye flour, light yeast, possible caraway seed and a touch of sweetness in the malt. A slight metallic and bitter green hop finishes the taste. The bitterness smooths a bit as you go along.

Mouthfeel is medium with lots of super fine carbonation, a slick feel and light bitterness on the finish.

Overall not bad but not nearly as good as the leaders in the Pilsner space.

Clear straw yellow, not showing its carbonation. Thin white head that reduces down to sea foam but does leave some lacing. Not very strong, but citrus in the nose, clean pilsner malt rounding it out. Taste follows that nose with a clean crisp body and fits succinctly in with a grassy and citrusy hop bill. There's a rounding depth to the citrus, some lemon sweetness sneaking in there and creating a bold middle of the palate. It finishes crisply with a bit of lemony hops lingering in the aftertaste. Crisp and clean, full of flavor and a really nice experience.
