Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is bready malt with some green hop. Flavor is the same, white bread malts with a green floral hop. Pretty standard pils but it is super drinkable on this hot day.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear golden color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: biscuity malts with some mixed citrusy fruity tones and hay/straw hoppy notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes slightly dry with a malty tone
Texture: light bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with a little bit of hoppy assertiveness but super light; good carb level
Overall: not a bad pilsener - I guess this is one of those "modernized" ones, right?

Cloudy gold with a large foamy white head that left excellent lacing. Dry and musty with earthiness, an herbal note and a hint of hot pepper. Long finish. Medium body.

Crisp, pure golden coloured body with a very thin, pure white head, only a centimetre or so tall, that fades fairly quickly and leaves almost nothing at all on top after a few seconds. Aroma of rich malts with some biscuits, light grain, subtle fruits and a heavy hit of lager yeasts, all with a smooth-ish citrus twang and some light astringency as well from metallic notes. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and hay-like flavours at first with a light biscuity and yeast flavour soon afterwards that shows the light lager yeasts and subtle bitterness, along with some mild German [Saaz, perhaps?] hops without any real alpha acids, but showing some smooth flavours that add to the bitterness and bring in a dry quality at the end. Aftertaste shows some dry funk and grass along with the light earthy malts and some biscuity yeast towards the end that ends up being fairly easy-drinking, but devoid of sweetness or fruitiness at all, which is okay, just relatively straight-forward. Overall, a fairly nice, easy-going, simple and dry lager that doesn't have many astringent or pungent qualities, but does have some smooth malts, dryness and even a glimmer of fresh hops coming through make this worthwhile in the summer, perhaps not making a special trip to any store to try to find this, but a good beer, for sure. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 20-May-2002 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, a few blocks away on 16-July-2020.
