On tap at the brewpub. Huge bubbles with a large bubbly foaming head that dies pretty quick. Cloudy yellow in appearance. Not a clean-looking beer as per the style. Subtle (very subtle) fruit aroma. Extreme medicine flavor of diacyl upon first drink. Somethings wrong here. Slightly more bitter than the other beers served here. A little bit of a citrus flavor. This definitely does not taste like a pils. It is more similar to a wheat beer in looks and taste. Possibly not a lager at all, but fermented with ale yeast? No brewer was on site the day I visited to take questions (or blame).
