Feb 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Light and cloudy pour with a medium white head. Delicate hop aroma, smells mildly of Saaz. Palate is surprisingly thick and malty. Has a unique doughy biscuit character that predominates the body. Finish has a touch of citrus flavored hoppiness. Very drinkable, but a bit sweet for an imperial pilsner.

Feb 9, 2008 Honey colored beer with a small white head. Nose is Saaz hop and honey. Flavor is more straightforward than the description would indicate. It is mostly malty with some background hop. Maltly Pilsner flavors with some yeasty dough and honey. Saaz hops never work for me and except for that I found this to be a very interesting and enjoyable beer.

Feb 8, 2008 Pours the color of a czech pilsner, amber but gold when held to the light, a small skein of a head and some suspended yeast sediment from the vigorous pour. Nose is tangy and herbal with a slightly oversweet malt nose, somewhat doughy. A faint hint of citrus rind on the palate before biscuity malts follow through to a lightly bitter, pretty clean finish, ending cookie-like. Not as sweet as the nose. Pretty solid body for a lager. Not really a good session lager, but for what it it, better than I expected.

Feb 5, 2008 Yellow to orange somehow, nice white foam, inviting grainy aroma, slightly tart but malty, balncing clean bitterness, definitely pleasant and accomplished

Feb 4, 2008 Pours a nice golden color with a small but lasting white head. The nose is malty with a nice richness. The taste is a touch sweet but with nice complexity. Very full but balanced.

Feb 3, 2008 Slightly cloudy straw color with a thin broken white head. Grainy and peppery aroma, maybe a bit too much on the sweet side. Sweet herbal taste, some Saaz, a candied taste that was perhaps too sweet for a Pils. OK, but not how I like my Pils.

Feb 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with small head and nice lacing. The taste is subtle, complex, yeasty, hoppy. Not bad.

Feb 1, 2008 Clipper City’s Heavy Seas Small Craft Warning is a golden color with an off-white head. It’s nothing special but it’s still good.
