@ Tass. This beer was all wrong. Tastes like they tried to make a lager with ale yeast, for starters. This resulted in mega butter, because it hadn’t had time to blow off. There’s no hops, either, which is a big no-no in a pilsner. Plus, proper hopping would have taken the edge off of the diacetyl.

@Tass. Medium gold with tight head. Butter--ugh--on the nose. Soft, oily palate. Butter. Bitterness in the finish, but before that is all popcorn butter. The hops come out a little on the back of the tongue. Not so nice overall, because of the diacetyl.

Yellow color, steady creamy white head, some lace. Honey, fruits, some barnyard in the nose. Light citrus, citrus peels in the flavor. Reasonably tasty for a 3.6% beer, although not very original.
