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.

Good hoppy aroma. Quite flat and heavy for a pilsner for obvious reasons. Flavorful, malty with a hint of alcohol. Finishes nicely.

Pours gold to peach in color and very clear. Sweet grass, hay aromas. Sweet light malt taste is well balanced with a crisp bitterness. Nothing overpowering here, just a simple well balanced pilsner. I cannot discern any alcohol in the taste and have a hard time believing this is 7.5% for how balanced and how light the maltiness is. I could definitely enjoy a few of these back to back.

Bottle- enjoyed this one. Nice hoppy finish, and clean aroma. Certainly not as dry as others in the style due to the abv, and maltyness, but very good.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with a small white head that fades to a thin ring and leaves decent lacing. Aroma of floral and light citrus hops with a light sweet malt background. Slightly sweet with a spicy, earthy, and light citrus hop flavor. Medium mouthfeel that finishes dry and very clean with the alcohol being very well hidden. I’m not a big fan of lagers but this one was tasty.

this was pretty darn good. picked four high seas up in KY, they did not disappoint. golden colored strong with better than average malt flavor and enough hops to linger into the smooth finish.

bottle: pourd a crisp clean golden colour with a small withhead. aroma is sweet and fruity with floral hops very pleasant. flavour is also very clean with some malt and yeast. it has a nice floral hop flavour and finishes with some breadiness.
