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.

Bottled. Clear yellow color, medium white head. Nice hoppy aroma, bit flowery, slight grassy. Good bitter pils taste, slight grassy, smooth. Great palate. Very good pilsener style (which is supposed to be and in this case truly is obvious different from the typical american pale like ales).

Pretty strong crisp, floral notes in this pils. A bit fuller than I prefer in this style which makes it a bit tougher to drink, but the hops and malts all come together very well. I wouldn’t reach for this if I wanted a pilsener, but I’d still pick it up again.

12 oz. bottle best by October 13, 2008. Straw colored pour with a 2-finger head. Decent retention and little specks of lacing. Grassy aroma with an earthy tinge. Grainy taste with a bitter finish. The hop tastes lingers quite a long time. Medium body. Very refreshing.

12oz bottle. I think this is my favorite American Pils. Transparent deep yellow color with an almost green tint to it. Deliciously crisp and surprisingly hoppy for a Pilsener. Creamy yeast still manages to shine through and compliment the initial bitterness. Excellent as a slow sipper or a session ale. Classic.
