Can. Slightly cloudy, gold color with a three finger head. Aroma hints of fruit and spice and grains. Taste is grains, well balance with slight sweetness. A really good pilsner.

Can, TWSP. Gold pour, giant, soft white head. Floral hops, lemony, grass notes. Flavor is smooth grasses, lemongrass, light orange? Very nice flavor... for not being a huge fan of the style, this is really good.

2 month old can A: Crystal clear bubbly pale gold body with a tall head of loose froth. Fair retention time leaving spotty lace. S: Pungent herbs, grass and light pepper overshadowing a sour bread base. T: Follows the nose with bitter herbal, leafy hops competing with doughy malts. M: Light and refreshing, finishing clean and dry. O: Not spectacular but a very nice hoppy (not overhopped) German pils.

Pretty weak stab at a pilsner, drinkable inasmuch as any beer is drinkable, but lacking much of a profile beyond basic pils characteristics: grainy malts with a slight cereal sweetness, too-subtle floral hops, lager esters, and some white bread on the finish. Forgettable.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers, then dissipates. Light mikan, stone fruit and melon aromas. Definitely getting some perceived Mandarina Bavaria hop notes. Crackery malt, crisp and clean with more cantaloupe and leafy, piney bitterness. Surprisingly sweet on the palate, definitely a more German take rathern than Czech. Lingering honey and medium to light bitterness. Very good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Uncle Rick's Pilsner on 22 Jul 2018 at 18:57 - Score: 7. Original review text: Light Mikan, stone fruit and melon aromas.

Draft. Clear, light gold body with a white head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of grass, straw, toasted grain, light skunk. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Standard fare with a bit too much graininess in the finish and less crisp than expected.
