"Is the foil over the cap supposed to make this upscale and indicate a premium brew?
Pours a clear golden/yellow with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor are the usual pilsner malty/hoppy balance. Crisp, clean mouthfeel. A good pils."

"I can't believe I've never rated this beer. From about 1995-1998 this was my go to choice of beer during the hot months. A very easy to drink, easy to enjoy beer that goes down well on it's own, or with common, every day foods. I figured I'd grab a bottle during a run to the store and see if it holds up to the past 10 years worth of beer drinking. Light grassy hops in the aroma with a touch of bready yeast and grains. Superb appearance....clear, golden yellow, fluffy head with nice lacing. Clean, crisp mouthfeel without any overcarbonation. A slightly grassy, herbal flavor with just enough yeast and malt to notice. Fantastic summertime beer. "

[3] Review by Sap from Tucson, AZ, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/28/2008 6:21:17 PM)
"Bottle Date of August 2008; Sampled February 2008
A vigorous pour produces a four-finger thick, pale, off-white colored head that leaves a fairly amount of lacing as it slowly recedes with a volcanic plateau in the middle of my glass. The beer is a brilliantly clear full gold color. Grassy, herbal hop notes mix with a touch of honey-like malt and a finish of soda cracker grain character. If you dig around a bi more fresh crushed grain aromas, notes similar to fresh bread crumb and a definite, fresh cut herbal note.
A crisp, hop biting bitterness is noticeable as soon as the beer hits my tongue. This bitterness continues throughout the flavor profile into a long dry finish. Slightly grassy, most definitely herbal with even a bit of lemon zest flavor, the hop character is certainly the defining character of this beer. The malt plays a supporting role here, but is very clean with just a touch of sweet grain flavor in the middle, and a dry, grain-like, bready finish that lingers on in the mouth. Light bodied and easy drinking, though it does have a light heft to it that helps the malt stick to the mouth a bit.
This is a nice quaffing beer; it is a great example of a German Pils; crisp hop and malt character with a solid hop bitterness. Certainly not the most intriguing beer in the world, but there is something about it that just hits the spot.

"Not a bad beer. Sampled at Oktoberfest in San Francisco, and after a few franzekaners and Spaten Oktoberfests i was a little out of it. It pours light brown with a decent head on it. Goes down smooth."

"In my opinion this is a middle of the road beer that is over priced versus other comparable beers. The few times I've been served it it had no head and left a bad after taste. "
