Commercial Description:
Malts: German Pils and Carapils
Hops: Amarillo, Saaz, Hersbrucker and Tettnang
We call this beer an Uber Pils - a pilsner style bock lager. Rich, malty, and well rounded but with a firm structure of noble hops. Surprisingly pale in color for such a powerful, complex beer. Available year round beginning Feb. 05.

Received a single 12-oz bottle via trade with kmweaver. Pours a semi-hazy golden pale brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma of golden grain malt, some light pear, grassy hops, and a hint of citrus. Taste is light to medium bodied, flavors of golden multi-grain with some wheat, light fruit, citrus and yeast. Finish is semi-sweet with a light bitter and metallic texture aftertaste.

12oz - I was a little underwhelmed. No real nose, funk and sweetness if anything. Flavor was not really there, set me off if anything with the woody bock notes. I guess I expected something else.

Light yellow-orange pour with a white head. Aroma is light, mostly pale malts, some hops and a little skunk. Flavor is light and refreshing.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with very fine particles. Moderate head with good head retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malts with mild noble hops. Taste is caramel, peach, plum and other stone fruits, sugar syrup, apple and leafy hops. Medium bodied,

12oz bottle. Included in a sampler box. Pours a light golden color. Pretty good for the style. Lagers are not my usual drink of choice but this one was pretty drinkable. Slightly sweet with some hops coming through.

Appearance: Nice golden colour, slightly cloudy, small off white head. Aroma: Slightly floral, some yeast, malt, hay, grass and slight earth. Flavour: Caramel, floral, a tin amount of hops, honey and a mild alcohol finish. Not bad at all.

Malty and thick, this has a pretty lengthy lingering flavor of "uper pils." Your imagination dictates the flavor. Thick euro beer, but good. Bottle at Total Wine and More, North Miami Beach.

Sweet malt aroma and taste. Minimal hops. Solid body. Golden color, with some floaties.
