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.

A light somewhat peachy aroma with a smooth but crisp caramel finish and a cloudy appearance

Bottle pours a clear dull gold with fair, unsustainable off-white head. Nose of honey, vanilla, and alcohol. Flavor is lightly citric hop bitterness. Medium, slick body with a slightly pine bitter finish.

Bottle, light in color, no head and little lacing, not a great pilsner, and certainly not an Imperial Pilsner. It does have some unusual medicinal flavors and a clean finish but overall dissappointing. Not much for hops.

Bottle. Pours copper with white head. Aroma is grassy citrus hops with sweet malty notes. A little more hop character in the flavor than I would expect from a lager, but still well balanced. Finishes light.

Bottle sample at the Blacklick Wine and Spirits tasting on 1/8/09. Clear copper color with a medium white head. Mostly hop nose, but there is some malty sweetness as well. Very good hop and malt balance in the flavor, but finishes sorta thin. Still pretty good overall.

Pours white head and honey colored body. Smells of hops and bread. Tastes like hopped honey biscuits. The malt lasts on the finish with the slight bitterness. This is my kind of balanced beer.

2008-12-22. Orangey yellow body with a small off white head. Strong hop aroma is unusual. Light grass, lemongrass? Flavour has similar hop character, light lemon notes, grassy undertones, light pale malts. Average palate. A bit of age on this has not done it any favours I expect. <i>Bottle c/o Tupalev</i>
