Prima Pils doesn't keep any secrets. This American-made German Pilsner is dedicated to hopheads and tells you by smacking a giant hop on the label.
The beer pours a clear golden body with a frothy pearl white head and a surprisingly low amount of bubbles. Light smells of pine and hops can be found, but no strong aromas emanate from the beer. Upon drinking, intense bitterness strikes and stays throughout the aftertaste as well. Minor malt flavors come through as well but the beer is not sweet whatsoever. The mouthfeel is dry, crispy, and surprisingly more carbonated than it looks.
I just can't help but feel that this beer could use less of a hop attack because German Pilsners are great refreshers and I find the intense bitterness to detract from such qualities. While it's an interesting spin on the beer style, I would probably not grab a Prima Pils when in the mood for a German Pilsner.
Final Grade - 7/10
