pint_size (989), Austin, Texas, USA Jul 13, 2008 6-29-08 bottle shared with lb4lb thanks to emacgee
Clear orange with a small off-white head. Smell is super funky! Flavor is funky oranges and garbage. Not enjoyable. Medium carbonation and body. Hard to swallow the funkiness here. Just not very balanced. Tejas (574), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 8, 2008 Hmmm, this didn’t taste like a pils or even a lager to me. Tasted mostly like a bock. Either way, it wasn’t very good. Funky flavor with hardly any spice or hoppy flavor. MaltDawg (221), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear golden orange. Citrusy piney hop aroma with big sweet malt raisin background. Quite bitter with sweet (almost candy sugar) backing with flavors of raisins ands plums. Full sweet creamy body well carbonated.
Finish is sweet with a good deal of residual hop bitterness. Pushing a barleywine? Very tasty.

Pours orange with a short lived white head. Smell is honey and orange, and is quite sweet. Taste is sweet and malty and not very pilsner like. Some mild chalky bland hops in there and some bitterness, but the alcohol flavor cancels out and pleasant balance they brought to the table. Just strangely sweet overall and not very enjoyable. wcampbell (380), Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 16, 2008 Good. Some of the usuall grassy pilsner taste with a lot more taste. Spicy and crisp hop taste and finish. Lightly bitter. Highly carbonated. Very drinkable for a stronger beer. No alcohol presence. Medium bodied and full flavored.
