4.09/5 rDev -1.4%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured from the can into a tumbler.
Bright lemon and brass body color with great clarity. Nice slow amounts of fine carbonation with a giant rocking bleach white head. Thick retention and capped with a great island. Leaves a large crown when settled.
Wonderful mix on aromatics. Nicely clean with faint but excellent green herb hop aromas, and chewy slight bready sweetness.
Palate makes some interesting in roads. Good solid malt backbone, but with a much spicier hop angle mix on first sip. Lots of spicy hop mid palate notes of tight bitterness. Small doughy flavor, and a touch of lingering malt sweetness.
A bit hop forward for a keller, but still very good

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75
Appearance: Pours a golden color that is fairly clear. A mild, white, fizzy head. SRM of 6 in the sunlight. (3.75)
Aroma: Fruit on the aroma. Lots of grapefruit, peach, lemon, orange, and melon. With some herbs. American hops. Grapefruit, peach, and maybe berry? stand out the most. (3.75)
Flavor: The flavor takes you on a rollercoaster ride. It's evolving. First you get fruit similar to the nose. Lots of fruity hops of lemon, peach, grapefruit, green grape, & honeydew melon as described above. Then it takes a turn. A huge drying yeast component kicks in that is dry and astringent. A solid amount of bitterness too. Some grain malts peek though, but it finishes completely astringent & dry. (4.75)
Feel: Medium-bodied. Slightly heavier for the pilsner style I suppose. Huge yeasty mouthfeel that leaves astringent and bitterness on the palate. (4.25)
Overall: This beer is a perfect disguise. Looks like a pilsner, smells like a pale ale. Tastes like a traditional American wheat at first. There is a strong lemon dish soap and white/green grape flavor. Then it smacks you with the unfiltered yeast astringency to pronounce this a Zwickel. A fantastic and unique mixing of styles. This beer is unique and extremely delicious. One of the best in the wheat category to date. Yet, you can't really classify it as only a wheat. I think this beer should pioneer a new style. A top notch quality beer here. I'm not a fan of wheat beers, but this stands among the best. (Final Rating: 4.40)

Another outstanding brew by Summit. Taste is a nice balance between malt and hops, definitely how a Pilsner should taste! Finishes a little hoppy, but not bad, a definite go to in summer.

Slight hazy deep golden color. Malt adds bready cracker character. Noble hop character just to balance the malt. Very nicely done. Compared to Schell Kellar, there is no comparison. This one hands down.

Clear light golden color with white cap and lacing.
Aroma of sweet caramel malt with floral, spicy hops.
Expecting rich malt I was greeted instead by firm, sharp, bright, floral, spicy hops which were joined mid palate by an almost honeyed caramel malt. The malt is rich but that's more than offset by the hops. Together these flavors blend well producing a very pleasing balance that holds to the finish. After the beer warms a bit the malt takes a tentative step forward yet remains firmly in step behind the advancing hops.
Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
Overall this is a very pleasing beer made in the Pilsner style.

12oz can. Poured out a bright, straw-yellow color with a small, bubbly head of white foam. It smelled of toasted caramel, floral notes and citrus. Sweet toasted caramel with a crisp, sharp bitterness.

Poured 12oz can into Pils. Bright and clear straw yellow with a 3 finger pillowy white head. Superb retention and lacing on the glass; a beautiful appearance. A nice pleasant sourdough aroma with scents of citrus peel, grass, and some light spicy notes. Flavor follows the nose well with a very clean malt flavor with some sourdough and a zesty hop finish. Extremely refreshing and crisp with exceptional carbonation and dry finish. This is very tasty!

Brewer's notes: "Our traditional, unfiltered German-style pilsner, Summit Keller Pils, was hailed as the #2 Pilsner in the world last year by Paste Magazine, so we’re not changing a thing. Same traditional Tettnang hops and modern German variety Huell Melon. Same spicy floral notes and balanced citrus bitterness. You’ll remember the malty-sweet and honey undertones, too."
Poured from 12oz can into glass. Stamped canned on date of '08/19/17'.
Somewhat cloudy, pale golden body, bubbly white head settles to thin cap, good coverage of lacing.
Spicy, lemony aroma.
Taste is one of biscuit, lemon, and sweet honey.
Crisp medium mouth feel.
Very well done.

12 oz can, thanks bro- Pours hazy straw golden with a medium white head that retains nicely. The aroma is lemony, citrusy, crisp, clean and refreshing. The taste is similar, crisp, clean, lemon, moderate hops add a dryness to the beer, and it follows through to the finish. Delicious.

Pours a slightly hazy gold with a big, pure white head. Smells of biscuit, flowery and grassy hops, and a slight spiciness. Tastes flowery and grassy with a biscuit backbone, a hint of bitterness and an extremely clean finish. Mouthfeel is light, effervescent, and finishes dry. Summit's best beer, and the best pilsner I could possibly imagine,

Ok...I gave it a 5 and here's why: I strongly feel beers should be rated according to style (ex: don't give a pale ale a 2 just because you don't like pale ales). So this gets a 5 because I can't find a single flaw in this and I can't imagine a pilsener being any better! It's awesome! German malts and hops brewed in Summit's copper brew house. This one is definitely a victory for the very schooled brewers at Summit. I hope they keep it around. Skol!

Pours a clear gold with a bit of a cold haze and a foamy, meringue head that sticks around.
Aroma is cracker, spice and a touch of lemon.
Taste is cracker, a hint of toffee, spice, a little citrus and a whipcrack finishing snap.
Mouthfeel is smooth, crisp and clean.
Awesome.

Smell: Grassy and herbal, with lemon, honeydew, sulfur and biscuit tones
Taste: Biscuity malts lay down the backbone, the grassy hops kicking in; as in the aroma, the lemon, honeydew, sulfur and herbal tones all play a role; clean, dry finish
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with crisp carbonation
Overall: Another nice addition from the Summit family of beers; their special releases have all been very impressive to me

A hazy straw to lemon in color with a big foamy white head that leaves some nice lacing down the pils glass. The aroma is of grass, honeysuckle, and a mild corn husk. Also nice biscuity malt. Flavor is toasted bready malt and a light peppery note with that grassy quality that's usually present in this style. The feel is soft and almost has a sticky quality. It's not, to me, overly dry, but is refreshing. The body feels light but not at all watery, and has a nice full level of carbonation. The beer has a really nice building bitterness over time and the overall flavor is very good.

Poured from a can into willi becher. Pale gold with a nice 2 finger head. Nose has a lot of doughy bread, some grassy hops and a hint of lemon. When it hits the tongue, this becomes really delicious, even better than the nose...in addition to everything in the nose, there is more very gentle spiciness and a little pepper. Clean but soft mouthful...everything comes together nicely, and there is a gentle liveliness, but this is too soft to be really crisp. This is a really good beer...please make this a regularly brewed offering, Summit!

Hazy golden yellow, compact layer of frothy foam, spotty lace. Grassy clean aroma, lightly yeasty.
Lightly bitter hoppy taste, grassy and clean. Mild lemon rind and a crackery pils malt backbone.
Nicely crisp with a light body and dry aftertaste. Very pleasant and tasty, extremely sessionable.
Great example of a relatively obscure style, one of the best American ones I've had.
Hope it's not a one-off and they keep it around, at least during the summer.

Had this on 2016-08-21 in Columbia, PA from a 12oz can
A - Mildly-hazy straw with a 1/2-finger white head and good lacing.
S - Bready, quite floral and a touch of honey and lemon.
T - Lots going on here. Rising white bread, lemon zest, grassy and herbal spice, lemon drop candy, pepper, noble hop bitterness. Very clean water profile. Very balanced. This combination of flavors really works for me. Tastes great.
M - Light body and medium-high carbonation. Sparkly, dry and refreshing.
O - Impressive take on the Pils style. This needs to be a regular brew for Summit!

From a 12 ounce can, this brew had a hazy, golden hue. Mild carbonation and a tall, tough head. The aroma has a bit of yeast and soft fruit. The taste is malty, with yeast and smooth hop bitterness. Lager notes and fuller in body than expected. Satisfying.

Pours to a pale straw color with a white head of two fingers. Leaves a good amount of lacing behind. Smells like a lager with grainy cracker, grass and lemon dominating. Taste follow nose nicely with the added benefit of what I assume are noble hops on the finish. Mouthfeel is what you'd expect - on the lighter side with good carbonation. The first time I had this beer I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. This is my 6th from a 6-pack and I am still enjoying the hell out of it. Great Pils that is so damn crisp and easy to drink. Very well executed beer from Summit.

Taste follow nose nicely with the added benefit of what I assume are noble hops on the finish. Mouthfeel is what you'd expect - on the lighter side with good carbonation. The first time I had this beer I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. This is my 6th from a 6-pack and I am still enjoying the hell out of it. Great Pils that is so damn crisp and easy to drink. Very well executed beer from Summit.
