The fairly hazy yellow gold beer has quite a head of very large bubbles on it that eventually simmered down enough for me to get the rest of the can into the glass. Lacing is surprisingly abundant, and that was definitely not what I would think of as normal for a Pilsner. But, that's okay with me. The aroma is very restrained, as I would typically expect a Pilsner aroma to be. The bread malt has light spices on top of it, and the whole presentation is very inviting.
First sip is possibly the smoothest Pilsner I've ever had. It manages to be both crisp and smooth at the same time, and that is a feat in and of itself. The bread malt is foremost, but all of the flavors are very laid-back. This is a very mild beer. I am debating the idea of trying to separate out why I would think that some beers are very good but mild and other beers are too watery and tasteless, but I think everybody reading this probably already knows what the difference between those two things is. It might be a razor thin line that they're walking, but I know when they're on the right side of it. This one is on the right side.
Tip-in is mild carbonation tingle with bread malt, spices, banana, and grains. The carbonation starts to sizzle as the bread loses its crust and becomes a lot more doughy while the spices increase and bring grains along with them. The finish isn't as crisp as I found it to be in the sip. Instead, it's a bit musty as a tartness settles in with bitter edges.
Bottom Line: A very drinkable beer. Possibly one of the best Pilsners I've ever had.
4.75/5
