Extra Billys Pilsner

Growler from the brewery. These guys were absolutely freaking clueless about filling a growler so we’ll see how this goies. Pours a very clear copper color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malts with muted citrus hops. Taste is caramel, toffee and faint leafy hops. Light bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied. A little all over the place but decent.

Gold, thin white head. Aroma was honey, cereal and floral. Flavor was the same alcohol and butter.

Sampler at brewery. Slight floral grassy hop aroma. Clear pale gold with small white head. Clean floral grassy hops flavor with pale malts and some caramel backing. Medium body and creamy mouthfeel. Finish is medium bitter.
