Looks like I'm in slight disagreement with the earlier reviewers, because I rather like this beer! I must admit I am quite impressed with this brewery in general. They're not going to knock your socks off with new and experimental beers, but they seem to take great care in making a good, consistent, quality product. The Sunshine Pils is no exception. Deep yellow in appearance, white fluffy head that fades to a wispy rim but doesn't completely disappear. Aromas of grass and hay with just a hint of honey sweetness. Taste also has some grass and hay, giving to a slight bitterness, then a creamy sweet finish. Really rather nice, IMO, and a very pleasant beer to drink on a hot summer day.

Pours a pale straw color with a decent white head that dies too fast and doesn't leave a lace. Grassy hops with some slight spice to them and a bit of corn/malt sweetness in the nose. Slightly spicy hope presence throughout the brew, a little more grassy/hayish than spicy. Some slight notes of DMS in the middle before the hops fade into a somewhat sweet finish. The brew is fairly refreshing but a little bit sticky on the tongue which takes away from it. Still a rather drinkable brew that would be a pretty good session brew for hot summer nights drinking with your macro loving friends. Probably a good conversion beer.

Pours a clear bright golden yellow color with a white head. On the nose there is slight hop notes, that’s the only thing I picked up. On the palate good hoppiness, grassy and slight fruity citrus notes. Crisp and clean with a bitter finish. Overall a bit boring, becuase it's a Pils but as far as Pils go this is very good. I've always loved Troegs for their consistent good brews, and this Pils is no exception.
