Legend has it in 1840, a monk smuggled lager yeast into Bohemia, setting the stage for the first pilsner; even now the tradation continues. We brew this pilsner with the noblest of saaz and to this we add premium German pilsner malt. This rich crisp taste has a finish so smooth that it deserves an encore, PROST!!

Golden with a nice white head. A decent helping of grassy hops over a bit of grain and a touch of sweetness. Finish has a light but noticeable bite to it. Surprisingly clean. Not too shabby.

Pour is a bright gold with a large white head. Aroma is almost nothing maybe some grassy hops in there. Flavor is suprisingly better with a decent dry pils malt and again some saaz hop toward the end. Not going to be a world beater but this was a decent pils.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 6/22/11

Aroma: The nose is rather faint, but there's some grains, grass, yeast, plus honey and corn notes to it
Appearance: It pours into the glass a crystal clear yellow color with a sticky white head and drippy lace
Flavor: The taste is much like the nose, fairly balanced mild sweetness and decently crisp bitterness
Palate: The body is fairly light, it is true to the style, not overly watery, fairly smooth, decently crisp and drinkable
Overall Impression: Did I really travel all the way across the country to buy Dundee beers (from NY)? Well, I was trying to fill out a mix 6er, so it was either a couple of Dundee or stuff like Becks (yes, Colonial puts Becks in their sorely lacking in quality and quantity make your own 6 pack area). As for this pils, it doesn't have a ton going on, but it isn't particularly flawed either. I find the palate to be right on style, so I gave it a bonus for that reason. This is a solid offering.

Not sure if this is the right spot since there are only 3 ratings. My twist off bottle had a light green label with a running chubby monkk on it. Smells fairly fresh and clean. Looks like pale lager. Open ended first intial taste. Gets a little moer personality as the session continues. Somewhat processed hoppy lager finish. Went down pretty easy.
