Part of my beer of the month selection, 12 oz bottle, with 6099 a-30215 on the bottom, poured into a pilsner glass

A—pours hazy golden honey color with a ¾ inch bone white head that lasts for a few minutes before reducing into a thin sheet, laces like sea foam

S—sweet and sour, mildly fruity, almost like dark fruits, not the pilsner smell I was expecting

T—there is faint fruitiness, but mostly wheat ad other grains that dominate this one, some biscuit flavors are coming out as I get to the end of the glass, finishes dry and clean

M—smooth and clean, light bodied, good carbonation

D—good. I’ll enjoy the other two I received. Easy drinking, but a different pilsner in my opinion….perhaps because it is classified as a Vienna lager?

Into a pilsener:

A: clear amber body with a one finger white foamy head that leaves some clingy foamy lacing in rings, carbonation is rising at a moderate pace

S: malts, light hops

T: sweet and bready

M: light, sessionable, carbonation is right on for the style

O: this is good for a Vienna lager, I would come back if I'm in the PA area and want a Vienna lager

12 oz.

Pours a clear amber gold with white suds for a head.

Has a coppery and caramel malt smell.

Flavor is of coppery caramel malts and very mild hops with some bready undertones.

Medium to light body with a stinging carbonation on the roof of the mouth.

A solid drinkable pilsner which goes down smooth and pairs well with average food like a burger or a chicken sandwich. Doesn't try to do much more than that. Just a solid lager, worth having.

Had this on 2012-11-23 in Pittsburgh, PA

A - Moderately clear dark gold with a 1-finger white head. Good lacing.

S - Lightly toasted malt, very mild caramel, white bread and a touch of lemon. Not real strong.

T - A moderate amount of malt presence (toasted grain and mild caramel) for such a low ABV brew. Touch of lemon citrus but nowhere near their Kaiser Pils. Touch of grass and a bit of metallic spice. Finishes clean.

M - Light body and light-medium carbonation. Watery.

O - Pretty decent for a 4% brew. More malt-focused than crisp/bitter hops. Had this in a Pilsnerpalooza tasting with their Kaiser Pils, Troegs Sunshine Pils, Victory Prima Pils, Church Breworks Celestial Gold Pils. and Victory-Fat Heads collaboration "United" Pils. This Penn Pilsner finished below all the above although it shouldn't be discounted to the point of ignoring it. It certainly gets props for being sessionable and decent-tasting.
