A decent Pilsner, nothing particularly special about it, drinkable and fairly enjoyable though.

Some haze in the pale gold body under a small white head with light lacing. Aroma seems to deviate a bit from the dominating malty crackery profile of a German pilsner; still evident but more in the background. Floral hops have more of the upper hand. Sweetness comes on a little stronger in the taste while balancing the hop bitterness. Nice tangy aftertaste. Dry, decently carbonated finish.

Poured from the can into a Libbey style pilsner glass.

Nicely clear, with a dark brass yellow and gold color for the body. Some good pin head sized carbonation as well. Head is light in creation, fleeting two fingers of fine soapy bubbles, settling to a nice crowned collar and top. Decent looking pils.

Aroma has a bit of sweetness on the malts, hits a little herbal on the hop, but there's a bit of candy like character in this as well on the sweet angle. Slightly jarring but otherwise on the nose pils wise is ok.

The palate improves a little on the experience. Decent if slightly un-supportive malt backbone, but there's a trickle of honey coating malts and light hop flavors on first sip. Very pleasing slow growing bitterness, hinting at grass and herbs, which gets bigger slowly as the drinking experience continues.

Not bad for a pils, but not great either.

from the can, it pours a clear yellow gold color with a nice white head that lasts and leaves some spotty lacing. In the nose, it is fresh and a bit herbal. In the mouth, it is crisp and a touch bitter over malt.
2023 update: Yum!

Pours a nice light golden color with a pillowy, rocky head and just a minute bit of haze. Aroma is sharp, floral and clean with biscuit tones in the background. Flavor is fantastically light and malty with a right proper zap of hop bitterness and grassy undertones. A bit of orange peel on the crisp and refreshing finish. Just a tad soft mouth feel and a little heavy on the citrus to be an absolutely perfect Pilsner. However, it’s overall a very complete and well made offering. This is one I definitely seek out when in Md. Awesome job Key Brewing!!

I didn't add this beer, but I will be the first to review it. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a rich golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, limes, little else. Taste is of malts, limes, light grains. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent and highly crushable beer.
