jgb9348 (9218) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - OCT 12, 2016Very rich, slightly glowing copper coloured body with a bit of an orange and honey tint and a nice three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of light biscuity malts, some citrus, a bit of caster sugar, some cardboardie funk and some pale yeast. Light-bodied; Strong biscuity flavours with lighter and less assertive malt coupled with some mellow fruits and grain flavour and a touch of bitterness. Aftertaste shows some grass, caster sugar, funk and a bit of stale malt - nothing too special here. Overall, if you pulled off this label, it would be decent at best, with a lot of mundane flavours, nothing exciting and no real profiles to sample, so sadly, I was disappointed, given the pedigree and the typically good ’classic’ beers from the brewery, but this wasn’t one of them. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from the Edelweiss Shop in Verona, Wisconsin (of course) on 24-September-2016 for US$3,00 by my mom - thanks Mom for bringing another NG beer back from Wisconsin, even though it wasn’t the bes, sampled at home in Washington on 11-October-2016.

slowrunner77 (19086) - Reno, Nevada, USA - SEP 12, 2014A very refreshing and well balanced pilsner. Slight sweetness from the malts, toast, light hops. Feel was adequate for the style. Though delicate and complex, it wet down fast. Nice n fresh too. Via heybeerman."
troyc (2869) - Illinois, USA - MAY 22, 2014[Bottle] Bright golden pour with a rocky head typical of the style. Sweet grain, grass and light perfume in the aroma. Flavor notes of more grains, cracker, light citrus and mild hop bitterness. Great palate/mouthfeel for the style. Not sure what the availability of this beer typically is, but as of 4/30 the Woodman’s in Kenosha had plenty of it.
BVery (13633) - Plymouth, Minnesota, USA - OCT 12, 2013UPDATED: JAN 1, 2014 Bottle. Realistically, has to be one of the best pilseners I’ve had. Sweet grain, a bit of carbonation, slightly syrupy on the palate. Slight fruit. Delicious.

bottleforager (3211) - Gray, Maine, USA - SEP 12, 2013Pours a medium golden color with good clarity and a big frothy three fingers of white foam. The nose is very bready, touch of honeyed sweetness and traces of grassy spice.
