Need I say the color is yellow, but this Pilsner sets itself apart with a thick nearly congealed head.

The scent is quite weak but a bready cereal malt aroma does exist.

There's a reason why Pilsners don't line the BA top 100, as their not very complex.
So this Lil thing needs to be taken for what it is, a very good version of a rather benign genre. Sweet malts, cereal grains and a bready dough flavor dominate a smooth drinkability. Nothing more nothing nothing less.

From a 12 oz can (dated May 17, 2013) into a pils pokal.

A-The brew is yellowish-gold in color and clear. There is a fair amount of chunky carbonation visible, but the head starts thin and drops immediately to an off-white collar. A random finger of lace is left behind.

S-The smell is strangely sweet for a pils with flavors of sweet corn and grain. There is a bit of grass, straw, and a sweet, doughy malt base. Not very refreshing or crisp smelling.

T-The taste also has a pretty significant sweet corn component. There is a mild hop bite here, as well, that provides a bit of floral kick, but this brew is not crisp or dry by any stretch of the imagination.

M-The feel is more weighty and soft than many pils. The carbonation is mild and heft is noticeable.

O-I went through a phase in which I downed a lot of Yella Pils, but now I am not sure why. Consumed cold (at 38 degrees from the fridge), this beer was still not very refreshing or crisp in the manner I would expect from a pils. It is just too sweet and heavy for the style, which hurts in the drinkability category. On the plus side, it does pack flavor...even if the flavors aren't that great.
