German Pilsner·United States·5% ABV·One of 388 German Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share No Frills's noble-hoppy and bitter character. Straw gold in the glass, with biscuity sweet aromas and a hint of citrus, then flavors of corn and honey, mild bitterness and a creamy finish. No Frills is a refreshed take on the pilsner recipe that Ted Marti, Schell's president and a fifth-generation descendant, brought home from brewing school in Germany. A light-bodied German-style pilsner brewed with Herkules hops.
