Hollywood Fresh Hop Pilsner
Tap, Finnegans North Myrtle. Pours dark gold with a slight haze and nice white head. Aroma is German hops and malt. Taste is correct, balanced bitterness, nice malt, properly lagered. A decent Pils style beer that doesn't have the malt backbone to really be a Pilsner. Beer is clean, no diacetyl or DMS that I can detect.

Draft taster. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate hop forward balanced aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate bittersweet flavor with a moderate bittersweet finish of medium duration. This beer met my expectations.

Aroma : Deeply Roasted coffee & chocolate malts, sweet dark red fruits, hint of oaky whiskey. Taste : A lot going on here, malty bitter roasted coffee & smooth dark chocolate, but also soft dark red fruit sweetness & a mild alcoholic oaked whiskey note. Overall interesting, sort of sweet like a Milk Stout but with an alcohoilc burn! (Florida tour Nov 2018-Tap @The Bull Pub, Key West)

Strange! Very soft palate for 9% but that’s about it. Pours dark brown w/ a tan head & messy lacing. The aroma is malt & perhaps some sort of fruit? Taste is sort of black lager like? I don’t know. But it’s average at best!

Hollywood Mango IPA
100%, all-head pour in a tall pilsener glass. Bad, loud can. Smells like suntan lotion, insect repellant or nail polish or something - not phenolic, but with a loud, semi-floral, chemical funk. Hyper carbonated from a secondary fermentation. The beer just seethes with CO2. Hollywood: Pull this from production until you get it ironed out - live unpasteurized, die unpasteurized. Can, Beer Stop, Tallahassee.

12oz can from Total Wine in Stuart. Mango puree nose. Fruity sweeter than bittersweet mango ... and a bunch of dead hops, it seems. Sweet mango but dead hops are bad flat bitter. 13.3

12 oz. can. Pours a mostly clear gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Sparse lacing. No distinct aroma. Has a light yeast flavor, more like a Helles than a pale lager. A little sour edge? Light body. Flat-ish mouthfeel. Meh.

Hollywood Mango IPA
Can: Very cloudy, orange-amber with an off-white head. Aroma is tangy/funky orange and mango. Flavour has more of a saison-like feel to it......slightly funky/musty orange malt, grains, mango. An unpleasant amount of mineral/metallic bittering. Rather harsh and off-style.

16 oz. can. Pours a clear dark mahogany color with a tiny beige head (in spite of an aggressive pour) and fair retention. Spotty lacing. Faint aroma of licorice. Faint dark malts flavor with a mild dark cherry note and a slightly boozy finish. Surprisingly little flavor overall. Very understated. The 9.4 ABV is pretty well hidden.

Hollywood Limon Lager
Bottle. Pours a hazy gold color with a whitish beige lasting head. Nose is moderately deep lime. Taste is lime with heavy ‘ grain ‘ . Finishes on the grainy lines notes. Not a lager lover, but descent and drinkable, with the lime offsetting the typical grainy taste of lagers.

Hollywood Fresh Hop Pilsner
Interesting, hopped up pilsner. More towards an IPA than a lager, that is for sure. Hints of pine, a bit of citrus on the nose. More heavy than a standard pilsner, to be expected. Pretty good, just not sure if it is true to the style. If I want a pilsner, not sure if this is what I want. Good beer however, maybe this is a new hybrid style? Been seeing more hopped up pilsners.
