Simple things aren’t necessarily easy. In fact, when it comes to brewing, it’s tough to brew great beer with just a few ingredients. But fear not, at the little brewery in SHiner we know a thing or two about refining even the most challenging of old-world recipes. This Czech-style Pilsner is brewed with barley, hops, water, yeast and 101 years of brewing experience. Here’s to sticking to your roots and keeping things simple, PROSIT!

12 ounce bottle. Pours a crystal clear golden color with a large frothy white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, faint grapes, grassy and floral hops. The taste is fruity and grassy hop notes, caramel and a faintly grainy finish. Medium bodied.

12 oz. bottle, July 8 at parents’ house. Pours a very nice, golden pils color in a short tumbler. Thin ring of foam around the top. A regular pale lager smell, but nothing off, just a nice malty, beery nose. Decent taste. It’s always hard to find a >great< bottled pilsener. But this has no flaws, nothing to be ashamed of. A solid beer. Carbonation is per American pale lagers. Very decent.

Oh yes, big dull pilsner bite on the initial swig. Looks like a pale american lager. Decent fizz and a nice clean aroma. Wants to be a an astringent IPA but its quite blunt and laid back at the same time. Almost thick and syrupy but not that viscous. Finish is mildly annoying like many APA.

Pour is a bright gold with a small white head. Aroma is a very dry pils malt with touch of spicy hop. Flavor is some more dry malts but not much else. A litte sourness shows up after the swallow. I really wanted to like this beer but there are better imported czech pils out there.

12 oz bottle from Kaggie. Nose of grassy hops and light maltiness. Clear gold with a medium white head. Flavor is light sweetness and bitterness; enough hoppy bitterness to make this quite drinkable if I could get it here. Pretty good for a semi macro beer.

Rarity from ericandersnavy. Pours kind of orange gold with a foamy white head. Aromas of pale malt and grassy hop. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is pretty grassy. And a bit bready. Maybe more of a German pilsener. Decent brew whatever.

Bottle thanks to Mora2000. Pours with a fading white head over a clear golden body. Aroma of grass and corn. Taste is sugary, corn and watery. Not a good pils. Dry and fizzy. I am not against pilsners, they can be very well made, but this...well, it isn’t.

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow golden with a small frothy white head that leaves decent spotty lacing. The aroma is wheat grass and corn malt. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet malt with honey and caramel. Easy to drink a decent Pils from Shiner.
