This was my first time to try this beer from Firestone Walker. It's a German Pilsner, with a 5.3 ABV.

The two brothers who founded beeradvocate.com give this beer a 100 rating. Who am I to disagree? I loved it!

I drank one last week on draft. It was just okay but Pilsners really aren't my palate preference.

I had it in Houston last year. Didn't find it anything to write home about. At the end of the day I had a half dozen beers I rank better. All in all it's still a pilsner.

As good as it is it is still JUST a pilsner. They're nice to have every once in a while but I don't think anyone will be bringing pilsners to tastings anytime soon.

Pivo is a great beer and it's probably one of the better American made pilsners I've had.

Pilsners get a lot of hate, but on a hot summer day I'll drink a good pilsner before 90% of other styles of beer.

I will too. Drank a ton of Pivo in Winter Park this year and brewed two of them in the spring. They're still just not THAT great. They may be the most refreshing hot weather beer though.

I had it with pizza and it was delicious. As the name implies, definitely hoppier than your average pilsner. I will buy some again when I run out. Nice beer to have on hand.
