Dec 14, 2008 Bottle shared by Springslicker. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that is lasting and left good lace. Nice hop malt mix in the aroma with honey and citrus mainly picked out. Sweet malt flavor with a light hop and spice backing. Medium body, crisp.

Dec 12, 2008 Winter Welcome Toronto.
Smells of good malt and fine noble hops, dark amber, with a small off-white head. Flavour is a spicy malt, hops add a nice level of bitterness. Full bodied, a zingy mouthfeel.Terrific example. Thank You Radek Kliber.

Dec 11, 2008 I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

Dec 6, 2008 Bottle. Yellow. Big white head. Smells citrus hops. This beer is sweet of citrus hops and quite easy to drink but it is also very bitter.

Dec 6, 2008 750ml Bottle at Sorbon in Bromma, Stockholm.
Huge compact head! It tastes like a cross over between an american IPA and a pilsner, lots of citrusy hops. I wouldnt have guessed that the alcohol was that high from tasting it.

Dec 3, 2008 Bottle. Aroma moderately sweet and fruity, very hoppy. Hazy orange golden body, huge thick fluffy white head. Sweet fruity flavor that develops into a nice hoppy bitterness with a crisp finish. Excellent and tasty.

Nov 20, 2008 Poured into a snifter. Muddy opaque goldenrod color with a medium-tall off-white head that leaves a film of fine lacing.
Fresh-cut pineapple aroma, pungent mango, peach juice. Some herbs and grass too.
Flavor is pale malt with orange marmalade, grains, and a bitter finish. I’m not getting hardly any noble hop spiciness like I expect from a pilsener. Tastes sort of like an aged DIPA.
Mouthfeel is nice and dry, maybe a little low on carbonation, some alcohol warming.
While this isn’t a bad beer, the thing I like about pilseners is the noble hops cleanness and crispness, and this beer seemed mired in tropical fruit flavors. Upon checking the ingredients, I see that this beer is hopped with Cascade and Amarillo. Doesn’t really make any sense to use zero noble hops and call your beer a pilsener. Stylistically this beer is way off, but hedonistically it’s pretty good.
