750 ml bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small lasting white head. Aromas of cereal, yeast and floral hops. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, grain, and earthy hops with a smooth lingering bittersweet finish.

Pours a fairly clear bright gold color with a smallsh white head. Smells slightly malty, some grain, and mild hops. The flavor was quite big and bold with a definite bitterness. The malts were pretty noticeable with the hops moreso in the finish. A little bit of grain was noticeable but the high alcohol seemed to mask it and make it more bitter. I probably could just drink a glass of this at one time, because the alcohol was big and the flavor wasnt enough to back it up. Still, an interesting take on the style.

Poured golden rich. Small white head. Aroma was slightly spicey and sweet. Started out molasses/malty sweet with subtle floral and very little pepper. Middle and end were both malty sweet and finished slightly heavy but clean. I think some time would do this beer good. Pricey, but not bad for a lager.

Beer pours a clear medium-dark gold color with a small, frothy, white, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma is malty with husky notes of toasted grain; hoppy with moderate-to-heavy notes of resin/pine, grapefruit; yeasty with moderate notes of dough; miscellaneous notes of pear and peach. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderaetly-to-heavily bitter with a long, heavily warm moderately bitter-sweet finish. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Very dark urine colored, maybe really on the verge of being copper. Nice sustained head. First sip is very aggresive- a lager version Arrogant maybe. The dry hops are very forwward. Alcohol causing a bit of burn on the tongue and it really lingers. Hot.

Aroma is typical for pils. Very sweet example. Alchol hidden well which earns this beer some points. Straw and honey, mild fruity notes.

Poured a clear dark gold with a medium sized off-white head. very sweet and malty. Sugary with notes of alcohol. Malty sweet flavor with a light bitterness on the finish. Pretty one dimensional it’s just a lot of malt. Medium to full bodied with a nice carbonation level.

Pours a hazy golden/amber with sweet, citrus aroma. Wait a second - there’s a face with a big afro in the foam! Maybe that’s the patron of golden showers. Sweet flavors (honey, bubblegum, syrup) with hops. Not really a pilsner but a very enjoyable beer. And now I have to pee...
