From bottle poured amber color with little head that disappeared quickly. Nice bitter flavor with a quickly fading finish.

This is a decent beer, although if you sample it at the brewery, you may wind up using a plastic cup. Hardly an endorsement of a finely crafted brew, although commensurate with the rude bartenders. Is the owner in absentia? Is this the way to engender repeat business? Yoi and double yoi. VERY dissapointing.

Draft at Bruno’s . . . All the time. One of the few craft beers they have on tap. Pours dark gold with small creamy head. Rather carbonated. Sweet, malty start with a light, but crisp hop finish. Good beer with dinner.

Suttree (3765) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUL 9, 2007
dark gold, thin white head. Crisp, vaguely sourish aroma, perhpas some skunk. White bread flavor, touch of cinnamon, and a crisp finish.

redlight (2209) - Winter Park, Florida, USA - JUN 27, 2007
Sweet malt aroma. Pours blonde with a thick white head. Good malt flavor, definite hallertaur presence, spicy. It could be a little crisper.

Had it on tap at a Pirates game. Meh - I wasn’t very impressed. It’s just not very solid and it doesn’t really taste like a pilsner! its too dark in color and a little too malty. Maybe the discription of the beer is better.

Single bottle from Total Wine here in Jacksonville. Pours a nice gold color with very little head. Grainy aroma, but taste was quite nice and refreshing. I enjoyed this one before spilling it all over the place.

Tap. This looks like a pilsner. Classic clear yellow color with a big white head. But the taste of the grains don’t stand out. Poor finish that was kind of sour.
