16oz can

Pours a pale yellow color with hardly any head, no lacing on the glass at all.

Smell is mostly sweet malt, has a bit of a corn like presence as well, can says it's dry hopped so I would imagine a large hop aroma but I'm having difficulty finding any hops at all in the nose.

Taste is like the can says, crisp, very very crisp, carbonation is sharp and active, sweet malt presence up front and very clean, a bit bready, hops are still subdued but there is a light grassy bitterness in the aftertaste, finishes very dry.

Another solid offering from Sixpoint. Not as superb as 3Beans or Resin, but a pretty good pils all the same. Great mouthfeel, looks excellent in your glass, could use maybe just a tad more carbonation to give it more oomph. But refreshing and fine for these lazy, hazy, days of summer. Could drink this often. Give it a try.

4.41/5  rDev +13.1%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

A: Big four finger head poured from the can into my pilz glass, bright white, pillowy and clumping on the edge as it slowly receeds. Straw yellow, clear with a tiny bit of haze.

S: Light flowery noble hop spicyness, soft fruity yeasty vibe and a pils malt breadyness. nicly balanced and no DMS.

T: Noble hop bitterness complete with earthy, spicy notes starts off the flavor of the beer and follows through to the end. The strong grainy, husky malt flavor could easily be confused with tartness. With a few more sips the flavors balance on the pallet and make a flavor full and unfatiguing.

M: Crisp indeed, with a dry finish and moderate carbonation

O: A full flavored, clean, hoppy pilsner that doesn't get fatiguing. A great choice for a german pilz in the US.

Pours straw gold with perfect clarity, champagne effervescence and exceptional brilliance. A creamy two finger white head that fell fast but left gorgeous lace, a ring and cap. Nose is outrageous simplicity. Outstanding malt, spicy hops, yeast and a touch of lemon. Subtly floral. Clean. The malt is deep and strong but not sweet. Bread and grain. Taste is is terrific. Crisp like the name suggests. It has a slight bitterness, a bit of pucker from the lemon but no sour or real fruitiness. The malt is outstanding and playful. It adds a grainy bite of it’s own to go alongside the hop bite and the carbonation and really shines. Deep & full but not heavy it offers just a little honey to keep it soft on the palate and to keep the palate interested. Finishes dry with some oil and bitter, a good lingering aftertaste. Body is a touch watery but smooth and slightly herbal. Earthy and flavorful. Easy to drink. Uncomplicated.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Poured into a Dogfish signature snifter. Bottom of can says Best Before 01SEPT2013.

A- Pours a medium golden color with a 1/2 inch off-white head that retains a bit before shrinking to a thin ring around the edge of the glass and a light sheet of surface foam. Semi-resilient lacing leaves a thin ring behind on the glass.

S- Signature pilsner aroma with some decent floral hoppiness and bready malt. Clean and, yes, crisp.

T- Flavor is similar to the smell with some light cracker-like malt leading the way and a bit of mild hop bitterness. Refined and smooth as a lager should be though there's that weak aftertaste I get from a lot of the paler ones that I just don't enjoy. Alcohol is barely noticeable.

M- Semi-watery with medium carbonation and a light body.

O- Though I admittedly don't prefer lagers, this one leaves no lasting impression on me compared to other more flavorful pilsners I've had. Still, it's easy to drink and there's not anything necessarily wrong with it.

Another disappointment from what I had expected to be a really great brewery based on the buzz out there. This was a weak-tasting, underpowered beer that left me with a feeling of loss and unfulfilled potential. It didn't taste bad, just muted and diluted. And it was very fresh. I liked the larger can size, I will say. For a beer that you'd want to session, that was perfect. But for me this was not only forgettable, but somewhat lacking. Would not buy again even for outdoor sunny sessioning, which I had figured it would be perfect for.
