Intense gold beer, big floofy head. Tart stonefruit, malty, hoppy aroma with light coconut tones. Hoppy, lightly astringent, alcohol bitter, toasty. Tangy/toasty on the lips, light grain sweetness. I was surprised that I actually liked this - DFH is usually overwrought. Finishes with a substantial, yet controlled bitterness, and some grassiness. Market Square Liquors, Timberlane.

I got this for around $14 for a 4 pack. This was really good beer to stand around the grill and drink. It finished clean, and was a little more bitter than normal pilsner

More of an orange color than gold, but I guess "Orange Era" (or "orange shower") doesn’t have the same ring to it. Aroma is a little piney, maybe even a white wine component thrown in. Heavy, toasty and viscous. Surprisingly hoppy, bitter finish.

From a bottle poured amber with a good amount of head. Nice bitter flavor with a good aftertaste.

Pale golden with almost no apparent carbonation. Aroma is grassy and resinous... strongly pilsner. Taste is same, with stingingly bitter and citrusy hop presence and a bitter and biscuity finish. $5/12oz

Crystal clear dark yellow color. definitely looks like my piss tomorrow morning. I’m not getting anything more than alcohol in the aroma, maybe a little grass. Taste is redemptive. Surprisingly big earthy hoppiness. Grass, lemon, and a rich biscuit sweetness. Flavor is balanced and I don’t notice the alcohol despite its prominence in the aroma. Above average.

Pours absolutely clear with a very small, fizzy head. Aroma is of pine and bready malts. I’m getting something else that I can’t put my finger on. A quick hit of hops quickly disolves into a sweet finish and pretty watery mouthfeel. Don’t detect much alcohol, so if this is 9 percent it is well hidden.
