Commercial Description:
Road trips are carefree adventures that usually take unexpected twists, like when we created this beer. It started out as a Pilsner recipe, but halfway through it blew a tire and Ale yeast was put on as the spare. The result was so good, it never could have been planned!

Bottle. Cloudy blonde pour with a white head. Has a spicy hop aroma, kinda smells a little like chicken broth. Flavor has a light malt base, but is mostly dominated by a nice, bitter, spicy hop flavor. Not bad.

bottle from half time liquor tallahassee, poured a bubbly golden color. a creative beer, aroma is light fruit, honey and grain. very pilsner grain like at the beginning but mellows into a fruity, yeasty blonde ale taste. refreshing and very carbonated.

Bottle. Very light yellow with a small head. Corny aroma and light malt. Clean flavors, but really light and lacks the ale fruity essence.

Bottle. Pours a clear, bubbly gold with a decent puffy head that dissipates quickly leaving a little bit of lacing. Smell is very grainy with some faint hop aromas in there - smells like a fairly generic pilsner to me. The taste was more of the same with grains and bit of light biscuity malts before a slightly bitter and very crisp finish. The mouthfeel is light to medium with a bunch of carbonation. This is a fairly drinkable brew though it’s a little tough to discern what they were trying to do with this one, as it doesn’t seem like a double pilsner (so says the bottle) to me.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a clear light gold with white head. Aroma of faint grapefruit. Flavor of semi-sweet malt and hops. Has medium body with med-high carbonation. Overall, a decient light IPA. Pretty good beer!
