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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Beer poured surprisingly orangey for a pilsner. Aroma was sweet. The flavor was a little overboard on honey. The beer is just a tad too sweet. There was a nice subtle grassiness underneath and a touch of bittering hops. Mouthfeel was really smooth. Could have been exceptional if it were just a little less sweet.

Bottle from mwelsh13. Pours a hazy golden with a nice head and great lacing. Aroma is sweet and grassy with some bready German malts. Flavor is much of the same. A lot of grassy bitterness in this one accompanied by a pleasant strong pils sweetness. Finishes nicely with grass and lemon hops. Rather drinkable too.

On tap at Boxer’s cafe, huntingdon pa. 3/4 inch dense head. Golden orangey coloring and a sweet, crisp, medium-body with a hoppy finish.
