Style: Classic German Pilsener
Detroit, Michigan USA

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Bottle from wine and things in north Raleigh. Gusher. Clear amber pour, a little darker than anticipated. Fluffy off white head and thick spotty lace. Over carbonated and slightly too much body (with no complexity), if that makes any sense. Grainy aroma and flavor, but the interesting thing was the level acidity here considuring the style guidelines

What the heck was the deal with the carbonation on this? As soon as I popped the cap the sucker was gushing everywhere and nothing would make it stop. Head was large and unbalanced, flavor was malty sort of but really watered down. Mediocre is kind here.

Golden color...extremely thick, fluffy head that has great lacing. Light malt aroma, with just a slight hop nose. Mild taste of malt up front...very smooth mouthfeel for the style. Back is somewhat sweet, with a hint of citrus flavor. Finish has a hop tang similar to that of a pale ale. Finally...an American brewed pilsener with a noticeable flavor profile. This brew is very unique, and put together extraordinarily well.

Way too f’ing carbonated. Or perhaps it was some other problem. Bordered on being a gusher - or like a gusher in slo mo. Clean and crisp? Not in my book. Couldn’t find a date on it, but perhaps that was the problem. Huge head I will say. Sweet N sour and a bit muddled and difficult to discern under all the foam.

12 oz bottle from gputty. Clear, deep gold pur with a nice, thick white head. Lots of carbonation bubbles - a pretty pour. Sweet cereal aroma, a bit corny and somewhat honey-like. Flavor starts out sweet, honey and more grain - kinda got me wondering where the hops went. Then I found them - a sharp grass bite that lingers. Grapefruit rind notes late in the finish. Beautiful sheetlike lace. A pretty nice drinker, and seems underrated to me.

Pour is a golden with a large whtie head. Aroma has some slight bready malts with a grassy hop. Flavor is again some malt and grass but the finish is way too sour. Something went wrong here at the end. There are much better out there.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a clear medium golden color with a large white head. The aroma was spicy floral hops and sour malts. The flavor was dryish, tangy and malty with a dry crisp floral and fruity hop presence. The finish was medium length and dry. Decent.

Very good pilsner. The aroma is of grapes, grapefruit, and honey. The taste follows the same as the aroma with s slight bitter finish. Very nice aroma that reminds me of summer. Good for a hot day. Very refreshing.
