Kinda tastes like orange juice mixed with tonic water. And why is this a Pilsener and not a fruit beer? Not that it matter, I guess. But it certainly seems more orangey than pilsnery.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle into a pilsener glass. The pour is typical clear yellow, though a pretty neat white head floats on top. Orange and honey are surprisingly noticeable in the aroma. The orange seems more like a suggestion while the honey seems very real. Neither of these notes is overbearing and some predictable modest malty notes are present. I was just starting to appreciate the aroma until I took a sip. It takes on something which reminds me of watered down soda with a slightly sour finish. Natural honey flavor comes into play somewhere in the middle and is probably my favorite thing about this beer. Hops are nearly absent in the tasting experience. This is not much of a pils. I definitely feel it derives most of its character from the use of honey. Give me some aggressive hopping on this sucker to round out the sweetness and I’d be happier. Also, I disagree with their claim of a "dry. . .beer".

Aug 23, 2008 From a bottle poured a clear golden colr with a fair amount of head. Nice sweet pelsner flavor with a quick finish.

Jul 21, 2008 Nice smooth pilsener style ale. Good balance of wheat and yeasty flavors. Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.

Jun 22, 2008 On tap at Mellow Mushroom (Brandon, FL). Pours a clear golden color with a very thin white head. Little detectable aroma emanating from this pint glass. Maybe some hints of wheat and citrus. Sadly, the taste was not much different from the aroma; that is, it tasted like a pilsner but without much citrus, honey or orange blossom flavor. On subsequent tastes we noted a generally watery mouthfeel with a somewhat bitter, dirty dishwater aftertaste.
