This pours a "regular" beer color. Yellow with a nice medium head. The smell is hoppy and a hair grainy. The taste is the winner here. This reminds me of the beer I had in northern Germany. Excellent blend of hops, lemon and malt. Very enjoyable. The joy lasts to the last sip. Good beer.

At 66 YO I've consumed a lot Schell's beer over the years. Before they became a craft brewery they old standbys were great. Now they make Grain Belt, Hauenstein, and a variety of craft beers and do so with wonderful success. Kudos to Schell's !!!
Schell's Pils is just plain wonderful. Need I say more? Dozens of small craft breweries pine for being as successful as Schell's. Summit has made it. Sierra Nevada has made it. Sam Adams has made, and hundreds more. When it is all said and done, good "old" Schell's, right in our backyard has been one to succeed !

It's a yellow beer with a solid sheet of fine, bone white foam that seems unrelenting. Smells like grain, hints of corn, some sweetness, some metal. Flavor is what I would consider pretty hoppy for the style; sharp musty hops with some hints of resin and metal alongside a nice crisp malt undertow. Medium bodied with moderate carb and a nice dry finish. Nice beer.

Poured into pilsener glass.

A Transparent amber. Thick white head slowly dissipates and leaves a thin lacing down the glass. Some bubbles rise from bottom.

S Nice wet grass/hay aroma. Malts. Peppery. Good zesty nose on it.

T Very surprised by the balanced extremes. Very hoppy and malty. Spicy/peppery wave. This taste remains.

M Light body. Fizzy and carbonated. Finishes nice and smooth.

O Good pilsener. Although not a staple of the style, I like the hit of hops. Clean and refreshing. Any fan of the style will dig Schell's Pils.

Pous a soft, white head that has decent persistence. Grainy, grassy aroma. Straw gold, with a slight haze. Starts almost tart, bright, and floral. Medium hop bitterness has a slight pine-grapefruit aspect as it peaks (this is a very quick flash), moves back into a more floral character as the malt comes through in the finish.

This is actually a really damn good pilsner. It's a bit more aggressive in the hopping than I am used to, but like any good Midwestern lager, it is still delicately balanced and refined. It is effervescent yet silky across the tongue, too!
