Delicious golden nectar, not exactly a refreshing pils but that’s not the point, is it? 12 oz. bottle pours orange-gold with a thin white head. Intensely fruity-hoppy nose with lots of orange and bits of banana, hoppy greenery and pineapple. Mildly sweet, tropical fruit flavor gradually gives way to a strong, sharp, piney bitterness. Finishing a bit dry and lastingly bitter.

bottle. creamy off-white (mostly dissapating) head into clear golden body with decent lacing present. aromas of strong hops (perfumey and citrus) and moderate malts (caramel). flavor is initially light bittersweet and finishes a strong bitter. slight alcohol warming (but hidden well). sticky dry mouthfeel. long long long lasting finish duration. lively carbonation. very powerful but good european strong.

Taste 7/8 Bottle 2007. Looks: Amber, thin clinging head. Aroma: Mild alcohol, chewy malt, floral, grain. Taste: Medium bodied. Strong, smooth and even. Malty and yeasty for the pilsner descriptor. Good brew.

Has a nice honey like aroma. Beautiful golden color. Has a pleasant summer straw and honey taste to it.

Bonus beer from carl4beer. Pours nice copper orange with a quickly diminishing head. Nose is sweet malt along with pineapple hops. The flavor is quite the same, with an earthy mid. Quite smooth and sweet with a clean finish

The color was deep golden and very carbonated. The head was white, thin, and fizzy. The aroma was alcohol, strong ale, sweet with light sour notes. The flavor was alcool, sweet, strong, and grass. The palate was thick-bodied. The finish was clean.
