Firestone has said, at least in the past, that Pivo is 100% German malt.

There goes my theory on that one. It is noticeably grainy in the finish. That did not keep me from drinking multiple half liters a day over three days.

I get grainy flavors from Weyermann Vienna.  I agree on the Weyermann Pilsner giving grass/hay flavors with some sweetness as well.

To me, I pick up raw pasta dough as the main flavor descriptor for Pils malt brews. But I get a bit of that white grape note as well.
