Commercial Description:
We brewed Paradise with massive amounts of German Pilsner malt and more than two pounds per barrel of U.S. Vanguard hops, an American version of the noble German Hallertau Mittelfruh. It was fermented with lager yeast from a Bavarian monastery brewery, then dry-hopped with another pound per barrel of Vanguards. To maximize flavor, we chose not to filter the beer, keeping it in the German kellerbier (cellar beer) style. The result is pale and smooth, slightly cloudy with yeast. The flavor is clean, complex and malty, balanced with plenty of hop bitternes and fine hop aroma, with a pleasant warming sensation caused by the higher alcohol content.

A one liter plus bottle with the year it was made in. The beer poured a darker yellow ans slightly cloudy with a nice cream head. The smell was citrus and floral hops and a mild sweetness. The taste is a hops start with a nice malt finish. good lacing and perfect carbonation.

Overall a very nice pilsener. Golden yellow color is hazy with a bit of whiteish head. Taste is a blend of hops, yeast, breadiness, malts, and floral tones. Intense flavors, yet very clean and crisp.

1 liter swing top poured a clear gold with a large lasting white head. Aromas of sweet malt, straw, biscuit and light citrus. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of biscuits, straw and light orange with a lingering bitter finish.

Rating #1. Courtesy of Bück Dich (thanks to argo0 for hosting). Fluffy head, nice lacing and retention. Lighter mouthfeel - lemons and slightly herbal; tastes closer to a pilsner than anything grander. Significantly less dense than a Rogue Morimoto, Golden Shower, etc.

bottle shared at tasting. Thanks!
Pours a golden hazy color. Smell is bright lager like malt. Taste is rich maltiness, lightly hoppy and lager like. Medium bodied and like an amped up pilsner, as to be expected. Not over the top. Pretty good.

RBSG DC 2006: Hazy yellow-straw colored body with a medium white, foamy, strong head. The aroma is earthy yeast, cellar, bitter fruit, sour apples, and light spice. The taste is strawberries, yeast, bitter cellar floor, musty, sweet floral hops, melon, watermelon rind, and orange rind.
