Bottle: Poured a clear and golden color with a white head. Aroma is light but full of grain and overall freshness. This pours over into a fresh corn, grass, and malt mix. This is one of the best pils I have had EVER!

.5L bottle from Hollingshead Deli; Nose of grassy hops, light sweetness, and grain; yellow with a big, glass-lacing white head; flavor is lightly bitter, peppery, and grainy breadiness. Finish lightly bitter; great pils!

Bottle. Grassy, nigh floral aromas. Gold color with a decent white head. Near medium in body with smooth, almost creamy, carbonation. Flavor is a bit herbal, with some breadiness, and a good amount of bitter. Finish is crisp and clean, with a mildly dry bitterness. Not a Czech pils, but a good lager.

Clear golden body with a medium frothy white head. Sweet grassy and grainy aroma. Sweet grassy and citrusy flavor with a light grainy ending.

Bottle, best before some time in 2006, at Hollingshead Deli on 3/22/07
Moderately full white head tops a brassy-gold body with just a hint of amber. Clear and filtered, force carbonated too, with minimal lacing and moderate retention.
Taking in to account its age, the beer seems quite nice. Flowery german hops (hallertauer/saaz most assuredly) in the aroma were no doubt fresh and appealing and in more quantity than most pils. Residual grassiness provides aroma and light bitterness, while honey dough flavored malts comprise the remainder of the aroma. Some light acetyldehyde, though not in too high an amount, accompanied by a moderate fruitiness reminding me of golden apples and pears. Doughiness thickens as it warms and breathes, but there are no oxidative notes. Medium strength of aroma.
Aside from some golden apple sweetness/tartness up front, a distinct grain/biscuit-like flavor dries things out initially and is very pleasant. Doughiness fights back on the finish and though some thicker-than-preferred honey/dough notes persist, it’s also lost much of its carbonation since bottling, and being past its best before date, I certainly can’t take points off. No doubt a more brisk carbonation would help disperse some of the sweet maltiness. Still, underattenuated is underattenuated, no matter how you slice it, and this beer could stand to be decidedly more dry for the style. As well, there’s a moderately toasted malt note which injects light sourness/acid that I could do without. Almost gives it a corn-like flavor (lagering flaw?). Nice beer, though, with the cleanliness (for the most part) and hoppiness that are must-haves in this style. Score reflects how this beer would have tasted fresh. Oh the things I do for a rating...(though to my credit, I am certainly not rating the next beer I had, Bischoff Pils that was 2 years past its BB date).

Bottle. Creamy malt and moderate hops aroma. Golden yellow color with slight efferverscence and head. Creamy malt equally blended with hops and an interesting sweet apple finish. Nice body. Nice drinkable German pilsener - slightly better than average but not spectacular.
