Sunshine Pils
Tröegs Brewing Company

A very tasty and light brew. Pours gold with a thick white head. Aroma is that grassy pilsner smell and inviting. Taste is a touch of bitterness but overwhelming sweet (in a good way). Feel is excellent crisp and clean. Overall, delicious.

A very nice, crisp and clean pilsener; its obvious competition is Victory's Prima Pils, which is a tad hoppier. Still the hop bike is there. My go-to beer when I want a craft pilsener. The only problem is that lately it has either disappeared from shelves or it is out of date.

Troegs Sunshine Pils on draft in October, 2022. This is a fairly good pilsener style beer. I'd say it's not successful as a German or Czechs pilsener. On the other hand it could be viewed as a good American adjunct lager AAL. By the end of the glass I was thinking it was pretty good. There seems to be a craft beer fad where "pilseners" taste pretty much lide AALs. The recent reformulation of Brooklyn Pilsner also tastes to me like an OK AAL

 

 

12 oz bottle
Consumed: 25 Aug, 2022

Look:
Bright and clear straw yellow with tons of bubbles. Initial 3+ finger foamy white head stays for a long, long time..

Smell:
Light biscuity or crackery malts. Zesty and spicy lemon and some dry white wine. Zesty, floral and grassy hops.

Taste:
Very similar to the nose. There is a firm but not overpowering bitterness. The sip dries out quite fast and finishes quite dry with and somewhat bitter.

Feel:
Crisp, and almost clean. The body is light-medium or medium-light.

Overall:
A solid Pilsner.

 

 

Pours a clear pale yellow. Thick foam. Smells like piss. I hope it tastes better than it smells. Not really. Tastes pretty skunky. Slightly sweet body fades to a unpleasant bitter finish. Troegs is usually good but this one not so much.

 

 

 

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local Giant Eagle store. It poured a pale clear yellow with white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had grain and grass notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with saaz hop presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great pilsner.

 

Troegs overall has some of the best beers available in Pennsylvania. This one is pretty good, but not up to most of Troegs other offerings

 

 

it kinda makes me happy also.... it's a little past its 'best by' date but Halftime Bev still gets me the stuff i want!!! COULDA BEEN a 4.65 if it werent so flat!!!
cheers!

Pours pale yellow with a 1.5" white head, which slowly fades. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is malty, cracker, grass.

Taste is biscuit malt, cracker, hay.

Thin bodied, moderate carbonation. Dry finish.

Great mild tasting summer thirst quencher.

 

 

Perfectly clear gold body with a large white head and good lacing. Grainy, cracker-like aroma with a herbal edge. Taste has just a bit of sweetness imbedded in the bready malt profile. The bitterness of the hops add depth and balance. Clean, crisp, dry mouthfeel. Been drinking this for years and have never been disappointed.

Nothing surprising on the pour - pale straw body with a bony white head. Bitter, Euro hops hit your nose first, but there's also a bit of grainy malt behind it. Smells pleasant, if a little underwhelming. Tastes, like, _exactly_ as it smells and I, for one, do not mind one bit. Maybe a touch too "crisp" if I had to nitpick, but it's got enough body to drink smoothly all the same. It's a Summer crusher and we need more like this; classic beer flavored beer without a bunch of fruit and gimmicks and shit.

 

 

Clear yellow, nice white head, great retention and lace
Honey and bread malt aroma with a bit of herbal/spicy/earthy hops
Start with sweet honeyed toast flavor and then dries out to a herbal/spicy/earthy bitter hoppy finish
Medium light bodied with appropriate carbonation
Really good pils.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beer pours slightly hazed light golden, 3 finger white head. Not much smell, at all. Taste is bitter saaz up front, nothing on finish. No real malt flavor, suppose some would say cracker or biscuit, i wouldnt. Its seltzer like. Dry finish. Just not worth paying "craft" price for a subpar lager. Cant say im disappointed since my opinion of american lagers is already low. Would not purchase again.

 

 

Troegs Sunshine Pils (bottle poured into a pint glass) from notes:

A- Clean golden body with a 2-finger off-white head and moderate carbonation. (4)

S- Doughy and hoppy with herbal and citrus scents. (4)

T- As the aroma suggests, doughy and herbal with a slightly pithy bite. (3.5)

M- Moderate body with a pleasant hoppy bite. (4)

O- An easy summer drinker full of flavorful citrus. (3.5)

12 ounce bottle poured into a Duvel tulip glass. This one was called Sunshine Pilsner, not Sunshine Pils, but I'm confident it is the same beer.

L---Crystal clear, golden color. Medium white head which faded quickly to a cap and left very nice lacing.

S---Grass, cracker, floral.

T---Cracker, grass, light, spicy hops.

F---Crisp, quenching, refreshing. Medium body and medium carbonation.

O---This is a perfect beer for a hot day. I'm really surprised that I haven't had this one before.

Someone gave us a bottle; very refreshing pils, would purchase this one. Just don't go to the brewery --
it's a huge, booming loud room. We ran away soon as we got there!
