The flavour is better than the aroma with grainy mnalt and a slight hop bitterness, still not as bitter as the description on the can would suggest

2083 Paniza Brewing Premium Pilsner Canada Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 2.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> LCBO Outlet #631 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Thompson)<br> May 7, 2021<br> $3.00<br> The beer pours a pale straw gold colour with plenty of effervescence and a huge bubbly head that is short lived. The aroma is grainy malt, noble hops, and yeast. Very clean aroma for a non-macro bargain lager. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very malty, the hoppish finish is barely detectable in the flavour. There is absolutely no indication on the can when it was packaged, and it has sat in the back of the beer fridge for 5 months so this could be an old beer, but nothing spectacular enough to make me want to try it again.
