Draft: Poured a clear pale golden color lager with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some residual sugar notes and dry herbal hoppy notes. Taste is also a mix of cereal notes with some sweet notes and herbal hops notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. A little bit too sweet for the style but still refreshing.

Thanks to MB for bringing this one back from Maine!

Pours a rich golden color, good clarity, and a nice tightly bubbled white head with good retention.

Has a bit of biscuity, sweetish nose. Soft malty character that becomes stronger as it warms.

Has a lot of maltiness upfront in the flavor - almost more like a pale bock. Hops are pretty muted. Beer is 6.5% abv, and drinks as a clean, malty lager. Doesn't work as a german pils. Has a clean and balanced finish.

Medium body and carbonation - pretty unobtrusive in terms of mouthfeel.

If I ignore the Pilsner labeling, I like it a lot. Works as a maibock or other stronger pale lager.

Med frothy grant head with fair retention, frothy lacing, semi hazy mostly clear golden straw color

Nose brings light grainy sweet pilsner malt, light fruity lager notes, hint floral hops

Taste brings very light grainy sweet pilsner malt, touch malty flavor with a more lager or blonde malt, med herbal floral hops with med to lighter bitterness, getting a little spicy late, dry crisp pilsner finish, lingering spicy herbal hops

Mouth is med bod, soft lager, med frothy carb

Overall not bad for American or "Maine" lager but not really a pilsner
