750 mL capped bottle served cold into a chalice.

My Antonia is a pale golden yellow yellow with a slight haze. The head is thick and slow to settle leaving lace behind.

Aroma is not as hoppy as the label ("continuously dry-hopped") would have you believe. It smells fruity, floral, and mild with a bit of citrus.

Flavor is much bigger than my nose hinted at. This is a big bitter bruiser of a pilsner. Lots of pepper, pine, and bitter citrus peel. A little sweetness at first but then a punch of hops, and a dry crisp finish.

Mouthfeel is light in body, nicely carbonated, crisp, clean, and, I'll say it again, bitter.

This beer is one that seems to have some highs and lows but overall is pretty solid. I just wouldn't buy it again at that price - around $12.
