Crystal clear gold with a limited white cap. Apple metallic with grainy malts, some not so good elements of Eastern Europe are showing through in the nose. Taste is exactly the same as the aroma. Grassy, grainy, noble hops............the Batman is distracting me.

Non traditional pilsner, heavier and more robust than normal, which is o.k. Aromas of wet grass, some metallic hints bring it down a bit. Mid yellow body, plenty of carbonation, the head is thin but leaves some lace. Flavor is sharp and spicy with a dry hay and malt finish.

It's been hit or miss with this Coney Island line-up of beers. Some have been nice, others....forgettable. This was pretty nice, easy to drink, freshing w/o having to think too hard if you like it or not. Earthy/wet leaves aroma which I attribute to some use of noble hops, a little corn, apple juice, some light hay. Flavor carries some light-medium sweetness for a pilsner, bready malts, a touch of floral hops and just a bit of cornyness in there, but do-able. Looks great in my Duvel glass, big fluffy head with slow dissipation, decent lacing, bright body. You could do much, much worse. A little bit pricey for $9.00 a sixer.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow with a medium creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet malt, a little vegetal, with some earthy metallic bitterness.

The flavor is some sweet bready malts with grassy noble hop bitterness in the finish. A little rye comes out as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with spritzy carbonation.

Overall, an OK pils.

Sampled on 6/10/2011. This pilsner pours a medium orange gold color from a 120z bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal and grassy, fruity and slightly sweet. A medium bodied pilsner. The malts are cereal and grainy. The hops are earthy and spicy. Lively carbonation. A decent pilsner, it doesn’t seem to have any of those adjunct flavors. Crisp and clean tasting. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Got on tap at Ravenous Pig (Gastropub) in Winter Park/Orlando. A nice beer paired with lunch. Typical pilsner qualities here. Appearance on the fuzzier/murkier side versus crystal clear. Clean, crisp flavors and mouthfeel. I would get this again, especially in 6-packs for daytime or hot weather beer....but was a little pricey and light for paying retail in a restaurant.
