Hurricane Reef Caribbean Style Pilsner

Brewed by Florida Beer Company
Style: Pilsener
Melbourne, Florida USA

Clear 12oz bottle best before 09 10 2008. Poured a golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of grains with maybe some grassiness. Tastes of, well not too much really; watery version of the aromas.

on tap-pours a white head with yellow color. Aroma is grassy, musty. Taste is grassy, musty, malt.

Bottle purchased at Bodega Blue... Clear yellow lager with a small, wispy, white head that’s gone in a flash. The aroma is of cereal grains (corn and spent mash) with a hint of biscuit. Sweet, but peppery flavor is very lightly acidic/tart as well. Light-bodied and tingly. Crisp, mineral finish. American Pale Lager in the truest sense of the term!

Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet malt, some pilsner malt, spicy, some yeast. Tastes of dry pils malt and thin with a citrussy finish. This definitely serves its purpose.

Slightly hazed straw color. Smallish off-white head. Light, dry grain scents. I’m catching a hint of oak as well. Light sourdough and sweet malt flavors dominate. A touch chalky and a bit acidic in feel. Dryer finish with a hint of sugar in the linger.

Bottle: Gold color, no head. Nose of light grainy notes. Very light, not pilsner like at all. More like a pale lager. Eh, decent and not skunky considering the clear bottle. Thanks, I guess Degarth.

Draft sampler at FBGF. Poured a straw color with a small white head that diminished quickly. Little to no aroma. Light body with soft carbonation. Clearly a light beer.

Hazy medium gold colored body with a thin eggshell white head. Sweet potatoes and bagged seeds of something like peas come through in the nose. The taste is lightly bitter, again it reminds me of seeds ready to be planted in a garden. There is also some bitter bread crust, but it’s behind that strange seed character. While a light beer, this is not very enjoyable.
