500 mL bottle, $2.99 from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA.
Standard golden clarity on the pour into the Sweetwater Pils glass, with a steady but not large carbonation. In fact carbonation falls away rapidly to leave the beer feels very flat at the end of the brew.
Strange nose that sweet and veggie/grainy. Not especially attractive.
This is disappointing. It is not very clean at all (one of the chief attributes that I am looking for in a Pils), and it has a weird sweet/cardboard taste. Not clean in the finish either.
As I say, not at all exciting and in the final analysis even quite poor.
