It pours a nice golden, cloudy, yellowish. It smells bitter, with nice hint of hops. The taste is very bitter for a lager. Bitter after taste. Amazing!

Orange-gold with decent, white head / Nose of grain, honey and citrus / Medium bodied, fat, with residual sweetness and good fruit, and with good bitter, hoppy finish / Flavors of grain and honey with notes of apricots and oranges / Not a pilsner, but a very good, fruity lager.

Grassy, sourdoughy, very hoppy (but I don’t get as much citrus as other folks - to me this was peppery, spicy, grassy), a tiny bit of unfilteredness? All melded together very nicely. Jeez you people are hard to please with lagers! This was very easy to drink, and a very snappy pils.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey-gold body with a bubbly white head, but it soon departs. Smell: Pale malt aroma with a distinct scent of floral, spicy hops. Distant note of fruit in the background. Taste: Pale malts with a light hint of toasted grains and maize. A single, solitary drop of honey provides some sweetness. Spicy, floral Saaz hops with a medium bitterness that holds beyond the finish, even. Finishes dry and quite crisp. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Potentially in the pocket of Big Bitterness, the Participation Lager makes as much sense as picking Palin as a running mate.

Pours golden with a decent white head. Taste is malty with a nice citrusy hop background. Alot more citrus hop flavor than most pilseners, but not the normal crisp finish.
