Apr 5, 2005 Overly sweet and malty beer. Nose is primarily of malt and soft fruit. Bitterness comes in softly at mid palate. Vanilla cookies and pears near the end with a grassy hop presence. Sweet and lingering malt finish. Not a pilsner.

Apr 2, 2005 Poured a clear amber color with a quickly disapearing medium sized off white head. Aroma fruity, of peaches and pineapples with some honey all blended together. Malty up front that turns to a moderate bitterness middle and finish. Warming. Medium bodied but soft and flat.

Mar 28, 2005 Dark golden with lingering white head. Rather cloudy, which I didn’t expect for a pilsner. Fruity floral aroma reminisent of a Belgian ale. Medium body, rather smooth mouthfeel for being so pronounced in it’s hop characterisitcs. Choice of hops results in a vegetable spiciness rather than a resiny bitterness, which when meshing with the high amount of malt probably accounts for the surprising drinkability of what is not a classic, delicate pilsner in character. Mouthfeel starts to linger in the finish but drys up quickly.

Mar 27, 2005 This beer comes to the glass a beautiful clear golden with a full head that leaves a nice looking lace. The aroma comes across with floral traces of rose and hints of honey. The taste is sweet with a tart bite. Another good beer from Morimoto for the Rogue brewery.

Mar 25, 2005 Pours a hazy gold, great head and lacing. Aroma is sweet and hoppy, grapefruit and honey. Flavor is nearly balanced, lots of malts and hops, though slightly more on the hoppy side. Somewhere between an IPA and a bock, flavor wise. Not much of a pilsner, but a good beer.

Mar 8, 2005 Updated: Apr 27, 2005I like this one a lot, definately a great beer. Very sweet, similar to an IPA, but definately a lager as it is not as thick or robust as an ale. Very smooth feeling in the throat, nice to sit around with. I don’t think it is worth the price, as there are many better examples of the style out there, but great nonetheless.

Mar 8, 2005 A little confusing, this beer reminds in many ways of an IPA just much lighter and with less body. Pours a hazy amber with thick white head. Floral hop aroma with something else, maybe honey. Alcohol was hidden very well and if this came in a sixer I could crush it without batting an eye but the price is too much for a beer that is not very substantial. Still, it’s a must try once type of thing.
