A crisp yet distinct Pilsner brewed with German hops that bring vivid notes of floral and spice with citrus and lemon. This is truly brilliant, bringing nuanced complexity together with smooth, easy drinking.
“Prima!” it is an exclamation of pure joy heard from brewmasters and beer lovers near and far each time they enjoy one of our most adored beers. It is also how she got her name. Like any proud parent, we have crowned her as one of our favorites. We lavish her with hand-picked hops, only the finest ingredients and painstakingly work to balance her distinct and nuanced complexity with smooth, easy drinking.

Bottle @ Kbh festival 2009. Pours a slight unclear golden with a small frothy head. Hoppy, grassy and grainy. Very german like. Dry and grassy taste. Clean and well hopped. Medium bodied. Crisp and nice.

Overall Impression: Here's another beer I haven't had in a while...
**Old rating just said: "Better then your average Pils"
That is not a lot of info, so I'll just keep this rated here for now and offer a re-rate next time I have one.

Bottle from Utobeer. Clear paleish gold, thick rocky white head. Very grassy pils. Creamy pils aroma. Quite nettley on the finish. Maybe just lacks a bit of balance, maybe just a bit too hoppy on the finish, to be a truly refreshing balanced pils. Herby nettley hops. Rest of beer is good, attractive lightish malts. But maybe just a bit too nettley.

Tap at Trappeze, Athens GA Pours golden, thick white head. Aroma of pale malts, grainy some floral hops. Taste, light, malty, light hops with faint citrus notes and bitter finish. Came off a lot better than many other pilsener with a very forward earthly aspect that make is crisp and very fresh.

bottle - Pours slightly hazy light gold with a one finger white head. The aroma is of floral hops and some bready malt. The flavor has that bready malt taking a backseat to the dry floral and grassy tasting hops. This light bodied brew is a pretty good session brew. I’m not convinced that rating it higher than the classic Pilsner Urqell is justified though, so I won’t.

Re-rate 4/2/12: Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Thanks zvikar. Clear golden. Slightly grainy aroma with grassy hops. Rather dry flavor with bitter grassy hops. Medium-bodied. OK. 5/3/6/3/11=2.8
(11/13/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia. Slightly hazy golden color with a quickly-diminishing medium white head. Aroma of some grassy hops and lots of graininess. Sweetish flavor with some malt, graininess and a bitter finish with rather grassy hops. Medium-bodied. Not awful but nothing great. 5/3/6/3/11=2.8

Bottle at Eulogy, Philadelphia, in the company of Loz, Casey and Traci on my fortieth birthday, 16-11-08. This was our second visit of the evening we walked just 5-6 doors away to have a Mexican meal and then we were back. This was one another one of Caseys beers and again a decent shout. Pours a lemony yellow colour with a white film head. The Saaz hops are really strung out, good classy, crisp bite to this, some sweetness, its very simply but well done and I my opinion that is how a Pilsner should be. A6 A4 F7 P4 OV16 3.7

12 oz bottle. Pours bright clear yellow with a white head. Smells of sweet malts with some honey aroma, a hint of hops. Light flavors of biscuity malts with a bit of sweetness and a nice citrus hoppiness. Clearly a well-made pilsener.
