Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some super subtle lace
Aroma: floral & grassy hoppiness, light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas into a sweet crisp malty vibe; finishes malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable, very smooth along the tongue
Overall: a nicely done pilsener, whether it's a German one or a Czech one but part of me thinks maybe Czech, eh, no worries either way, I'd have again.

3$ can total wine st pete. Fairly clear pale. Clean fresh lager nose with a hint of cream corn. First taste is certainly general pilsner sharp bitter bite. Good level of carbonation. Getting some fresh cut grass. Bitterness builds towards the middle. Starting to feel like yer typical domestic attempt at a real pilsner, not quite getting there. Goes down fairly easy. In the end, the bitter bite continues to escalate to a solid long finish. Needs some manners.

Worktrip. Part of a mixed six brought back to my San Jose hotel. 4.19.25 freshie at the time in May, but now it's July.
Clear, pale, classic lager with a soapy, slightly thin head.
Saline, light soap, sort of high acid, sharp grain.
Bittersweet, leaning off-dry. High acid, tight grain, small citrus, sweet herbal.
Extra crispy itchy but not irritating. Really slosh-able.
Exactly what you want, but done a little better.

Bought locally from Cy Discount Liquor.
Pours a clear straw gold with an inch of foam after it settles down. Good retention and lacing.
Smells distinctly hoppy in a Bitburger way. Light spiciness, some bread notes
Taste is, again Bitburger like. Noble. Crisp, clean and dry.
Body is fine for the style. 4.8% abv makes it very drinkable and yes, I would definitely buy this if I saw 6packs.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy light yellow color with a bright white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Sharp pilsner malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Sharp pilsner malt flavor with a crisp finish. Clean and refreshing. Aptly named. Medium-light body. Above average carbonation. Lighter than expected bitterness.
