Moonlight Reality Czeck

Pours light gold with thin white head and lots of lacing. Aromas of citrus hops, spice, and corn. Tastes almost cheesy, lots of lemon, and again that corn taste.

On tap at The Rake. Pale gold, thick lasting white head. Lager malt aroma but no puke. Quite lemony. Its just a bit too lemony, trying too hard. Fine, some drinkability but just not like the real thing.

Tap at Sonoma Wine Exchange. Pours amber gold with a large creamy white head. Laces a lot. Aroma is lightly bready with noticeable grassy hop. Near medium body with sharp carbonation. It’s bready with lots of grassy hop. Finishes slightly bready and quite grassily bitter.

From tap at Magnolia brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with a thick and white head. Aroma is light cornish to malty, vague grassy hops note. Bitter and grassy base flavour. Light biscuit like malt sweetness. Ends dry and bitter.

Shaker pour at Tornado. Color is a clear dark golden and has a frothy head. Aroma is very strong dry herbal hops. Same in the flavor with clean white bread malts behind it. As it warms a bit of a metallic lagerness emerges in the nose. Its simple yet well done. I would like a bit more crispiness to the hops and maybe a little less of a malt characteristic.

Tap at the T-Room. Very minerally, grainy nose. This is continued through the flavor, as wheatiness subsides. Slight grassy quality.

On tap at Toronado. This clear blonde lager poured with a decent off-white head. There is a crisp and clean pilsener flavor with some sublte hopping. Tasty.

On tap at Toronado, San Francisco, with Phyllis, 24th Mar 09. This tastes like a very fruity version of Rothaus Pils. Fruit on top with corn underneath. Slighly sour too. Interesting and enjoyable.
