Clear yellow colored beer with a tall white colored head.

Smells soapy and yeasty. Faint saffron scent. That is pretty much it.

Starts out mildly sweet. Taste of toasted grain. Very yeasty and not bitter.

Mouthfeel is OK.

Overall just an average beer.

Had this beer from the can. It’s an interesting pilsner. No noticeable carbonation in the body despite producing a nice 2 finger head. Aroma is bready malts. Taste is sweet and bready with a crisp balancing finish but lighter in the hop bitterings than majority of pilsners. Has a slick finish and a touch oily as others have stated. Overall I actually really liked this one. No off flavors at all.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Look: white creamy, head that leaves lots of lacing behind; yellow gold color with nice amount of carbonation.

Smell: slightly metallic aroma typical in European Pilsners but thankfully no skunkiness - could be due to age or the fact it is in a can; bit of toasted bread and malted barley; not getting much from the hops but that is not to be expected.

Taste: toasted sweet barley flavor; a bit green and earthy but not much bitterness in the finish.

Feel: clean, crisp, and refreshing with a bit of tingling on the tongue; not much aftertaste.

Overall: expected a Belgian influence but they evidently don't use that kind of yeast in this beer. This is more of a German-styled Pilsner but is refreshing nonetheless. Price point for this 4-pack canned beer made it well worth the money and time.

Appearance: pours a thick white sudsy head which slowly recedes. Plenty of lacing. Color is light gold with plenty of carbonation.
Aroma: funky yeast that is typical of euro lagers, lightly toasted barley malt, a hint of grassy hops. Mouthfeel: light, watery and crisp. mostly dry finish.
Flavor: sourdough bread, sweet barley malt, grassy and earthy hop bite in the finish.
Overall: pleasant and typical of the style.

I saw the 4 packs on sale for $4.99 so I picked it up.

A fast pour to a decent white head. The heads a little less rich then i like and the color is to light as well. Decent lacing. Not a bad smell to the beer. Actually a "good" one. The grain comes thru.

I guess the disappointment is the taste. Its just to bland for me and slightly metallic. OK, 1/2 way thru Im losing the metal and getting a bit of grain with a bit of dryness..

Im going to raise this rating a bit. this isnt a bad Pils but certainly not premium.

Another 99 cent sale purchase from my June 9th visit to Premier Gourmet in Buffalo NY.

Poured into a Nonick pint glass from the 16.9 oz. can.

Fairly clear light gold, formed a curiously uneven inch thick head which dissipated to a rather unappetizing and very uneven detergent-like foam which soon thankfully disappeared.

s: None that my 67-year old nose could detect. But in my aging sense of smell's defense, for a pilsener, that is not so unusual.

t: Light and refreshing, slight ripe pear notes as it warmed.

m: Light but good body for a pilsener.

o: A decent to above average pilsener. At the sale price point it would be tempting to buy again, but there are lots of other comparable summer beers out there in the mainstream, some of them for even less money.
