My apologies if I got this in trade, as I forgot it’s source.
Pours rich golden white a medium sized whitish head. Smell is lemon, lager like malt and light alcohol. Together comes across fresh, bright and somewhat inviting. Taste is a bit dusty, chalky and lightly alcoholic without the burn, and with lager like malty characteristics and orange rind flavor. Flavorful with strong orange rind character and light malt. Very mild hop character. Citrusy, yet lager like. Definitely unique, but not particularly great, with some alcohol presence, which is a bit obtrusive at 7%.

Oct 6, 2008 pours clear golden, with a thin head. Aroma is apples and earthy hops. Taste is much the same, with a residual sweetness on the end. Fairly well balanced, but the sweetness slowly creeps up.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle: Pours a soft orange copper color with a large, creamy sandy head. Thick clumpy lacing. Smells of citrus and florals, a bit sweet and malty too. Tastes of a medley of citrus and florals. Nice malty balance. Some wetness in the hops and a bit of tropical fruit. Really quite enjoyable. Thanks to nimbleprop for this!

Sep 26, 2008 12oz bottle. clear gold pour with a small white head that doesn’t stick around. aroma is lemon, sweet breads and light malts. sweet spice, raisin and bready taste. chewy medium to light texture. not a lot of dry or bitter to the finish. not horrible, but not my thing.

Sep 18, 2008 Bottled including the uber pils alternate logo. Pours a chilled gold colour with a foamy white head. The aroma mixes sweet, sour and a little hops as well. Definitely not the flavour I was expecting but dead-on for a European strong lager. More malty and complex than expected. Not the big alcoholic punch like some ESL’s. Good for the type but not my favourite.
