Can, around 45 degrees F. Nice clear pale pour. Clean fresh pale beer taste & feel. Initially, goes down easy with a friendly attitude and then in the middle some sharper astringent bitter bite tends to stick its little head up. Yes, once that attribute is present, its a little difficult to ignore. Overall tho, I found this to be somewhat refreshing, it just needs a little more manners if it wants to be like the civilized real old country real pilz. Good attempt raleigh.

Crisp golden coloured body with a very thin, pure white head that fades fairly quickly and leaves nothing on top after a few seconds. Aroma of very light biscuity and grassy malts with a dry bite from some subdued Czech and German hops that bring out only a tiny bit of grass and no real bitterness. Light-bodied; Sharp malty and biscuity, honey profile that brings out a dry quality and a hint of honeysuckle with a definite floral bite at the end. Aftertaste is dry, but very easy-drinking with only a touch of flavours coming through the edges. Overall, a subdued, but enjoyable, very light and super crisp lager with a lot of character and depth, but on the lighter side and very easy-drinking. This one was pretty nice to sample locally and very fresh - a fairly good option for those who want something locally and full of easy-drinking flavours! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Cary (Crossroads Boulevard), North Carolina on 30-May-2021 for US$5,49 sampled in my hotel room here in Chesapeake, Virginia on 12-June-2021.

Can. Hazy golden color white head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of pepper and lemon. Taste is bitter straw and black pepper, long lingering finish. Decent body anyway.

12 oz. can into a tulip ABV actually 5.2% Canned 03/17/15 so 3 weeks old A: Accidentally hard pour yields a thick, dense crackling head atop a medium pale yellow body. Good retention and fair amount of spotty lacing. Despite the light color, this beer is anything but clear. I have no problem with unfiltered beers but lots of sediment here floating immovably. Scary shit. S: Very light aroma of wheaty pale malts. Very faint grassy hops. T: Unexpectedly a sharp hop bite greets on 1st sip. Sourdough and crackers round out the light flavor. A tart note is hard to pin down but agreeable. M: Quite light as expected with crisp carbonation on the tongue. Very refreshing. O: Reminds me of Olde Hickory Piedmont which I like a lot. Not quite as good. Not nearly as expensive either. Overall, a good pilsner to knock back a few of on a hot day. At $7.50/6 @ Total Wine, I can see buying this again. I feel obligated to try at least once again.
