I really need to try to set aside style designation here when I try to rate this, but it will be difficult considering that this is nowhere close to being a pils, aside from the fact that it is a lager - "hey guys, let’s make a beer with seven different malts (two of which are rye) and four hops (none of which are typically associated with pilsners) and market it as a pils" - fuck that - the beauty of a pils is in its simplicity, guys - anyway - hazy straw - aroma is light honey, toasted grains, light Vienna richness, lightly spicy rye - flavor is strongly husky/grainy and moderately bitter - earthy, American hop profile - a honey sweetness through the tail end and finish - herbal, tea-like character - too much apparent alcohol in the finish - drinkable, with no glaring flaws, but NOT a pilsner.

The Half Pint, NY ($6): Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma of grain, hops, and some sweetness. This is certainly no super dry German pilsener (even though it was dry-hopped), instead it was somewhat sweet (no surprise that a lot of people are speculating about the corn... but maybe it was the rye). There is moderate hops, but not in a really interesting way. I mean it is a very drinkable beer, which is not at all offensive, but then again not all that great.

Location: Draft at the Rattle 'n Hum, 10/8/10

Aroma: The nose has some crackers, lemon, herbs, yeast, and floral notes
Appearance: This is a clear golden colored beer with a nice white head and solid lace
Flavor: The taste is sweet malts, lemon, spice, and balanced by some floral hops
Palate: The body is light-medium, with a crisp "pils" feel to it and a good drinkability
Overall Impression: This turned out to be a pretty solid Pils. It has a nice look, and a decent flavor. Drinkable and somewhat enjoyable. Nothing special, but not lacking much either.

Pours gold into a lager glass. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Spicy hay and caramel aromas. Sweet caramel upfront with a dry, lasting, slightly sour and bitter grass finish.

Pour is a hazy tan with a large white head. Aroma is dry bready malts with a little honey. Flavor starts out with the bready malts but then is followed by a nice spicy hop profile. A pretty nice pils with a few different things going on here.

On tap at the Brass Tap in Wesley Chapel, FL. Pours up deep gold with off white head. The aroma is fresh grains, toffee and spiciness. The taste begins and continues with yummy spices, rye and then picking up malty grains, toffee and then a mix of caramel malts and lager-y yeast creating a butterscotch type feel.
