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.

12 oz bottle-Poured a clear golden yellow w/a small white head. Decent malted aroma. Somewhat grassy sweet malted taste. Some Hops to balance it out. Sweet finish, too sweet really, kind of thin & weak. Nothing wrong with it, you can drink it, but nothing special. Seems overrated to me

This one poured a bright yellow color with a medium white head that disappeared pretty quickly. Tasted nicely balanced, with a bit of hop and malty goodness. This wasn’t fantastic, but worth trying out.

12 ounce bottle poured into 20 ounce “pint” glass. Medium golden color with a thin white head. The head diminished rather quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was rather on the malty side. The taste is the same with a little hop to balance it out. The aftertaste is clean and goes away quickly.

A really good UBER. Great Plis aroma. Very well balanced. Very strong. I felt it in this one although the finish was clean (no burn). 12oz variety pack.

These imperial/uber pilsners are growing on me as a style, much better than the boring old pilsner style. This one poured with a bit of orange and copper color. The head was decent and the lacing typical. The aroma was of honey and some lightly grassy hops. The hop flavors were very much secondary in this one, almost too underplayed if there is a fault, and the rich pils and caramel malts came through strongest with light honey and very light grass. The hopping added a dryness to the mouthfeel along with a bit of a spicey zest in the finish. A nice beer.

12-oz. bottle from artusory. Pours a clean and clear deep gold with some hints of orange and a tiny, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is sour malt (grain, meal, straw), yeast (sweat) and light floral hops. Moderate acidity and bitterness, buttery malt, grain and hay flavor, medium sweetness, finish is dry. Light bodied, fizzy, crisp and dry palate.

It poured a clear, light gold with a nice white head that lasted. My first reaction was of a lightly hopped smooth beer, true to a Pils. Subsequent sips identified a good malt flavor and a pleasant aftertaste.
