Draft at Here's How. Clear golden pour, adequate foamy white head. Biscuity, grainy aroma. Taste is bready, crackers, crisp bite leading up to a mildly dry finish.

Green can as pictured. Slight haze on a pale brew with a white foam head. Nose is surprisingly mild citrus pine. First big swig is quite sharp pilsner bitter, needs manners. Yes, the pils sharp bite is a largely over the top, almost like a rude wheat ale. This is a tick but its a difficult pils tick. In the middle it starts to become somewhat astringent and phenolic. Not well behaved. At least it has a good co2 level. Yea, I know this stuff is supposed to have noble german hops but they seem to be mutt mixed american to me. Just plain rude like many american attempts at a decent old country civilized style.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear yellow-gold color with a large bright white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Sharp pilsner malt aroma. Bright pilsner malt flavor with a hint of lemon and a medium-light, soft bitter finish. I guess thats what makes this an Italian pilsner. Clean and crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Good example of the style.

A bit bitter, in an american hop sense. Not really to any european pilsner style. But well made. Upslope Boulder
