Light orange yellow pour. Rotten grain aroma, like that of the grain that sits outside of a brewery for a day longer than expected in direct sunlight. Ugh tastes slightly better than the aroma but not by much. Dry feeling is bad oats flavor. I almost said Bad Dates which would have led me on an Indiana Jones crusade. Hahaha short-round. He was always in trouble. Gahl-lee-maw!! Haha, this beer isn’t bad but isn’t great.

Bottled. Nice coloration, and is clear, has a little bit of a twang to it. It’s alright.

In the bottle at the 2009 Crescent Moon Summer Beer Festival. Pours bright yellow with a fast-dying white head. Very lemon-like in taste. Not great. Definitely not in the German style of pilsner.

Not the greatest Pils. Weak nose with not much bite to the flavor, kinda watery. Pretty boring,

Pours a nice golden with a white head. Aroma is malt, hops, water and not much else. Flavor is malt, grassy hops, and a little bitterness in it’s otherwise watery finish.

From a bottle poured a golden color with a fair amount of head. Nice light bitter flavor with a quick finish.

12 oz. -> shaker. Pours a hazy, lt. orange marmalade-color, with an off-white head, which dissipated quickly. Smells of soap, beer "skunk," dryness, and (strong?) toffee. Tastes yeasty, with subtle hops balancing the malts, and retaining the soapy, pils skunkiness. Dry finish. I’ve had better pilsners, but hey... Fort Bragg. Hooah!

Clear and see-through look. Bright and sunny yellow. Icy film on top; no head. Some snowy lace. Dark golden yellow. The smell is a bitter German malt lager smell. There is a bitter pale aroma (even though it’s a lager) and bitter beechwood hops. Has a "wet" malt aroma. Bitter is the word here. Also a little pungent. There is a pale malt flavor with some strong bitter hops. The hops, however, aren’t much for character. There is a fruity (orange? lemon?) flowery aftertaste. A bite comes at the end. Feels bubbly and fizzy, like champagne. It’s a sipper. Once the bubbles go away it feels dry. Not an amazing beer. A bit simple. Has a decent flavor with some frut, but too spiky for this fella to love.
