Ramapo Valley Paranoia Pilsner

Brewed by Ramapo Valley Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Hilburn, New York USA

Pale yellow, with medium head. Aroma of malt, slight citrus, hops, and corn flakes. Tastes malty, with a crisp, smooth finish.

Tap @ Brewery. Clear gold color with thin off white head. Taste is sweet almost corn like. Malty without any real hop balance.

Brewtopia 2004: Cloudy yellow, hardly any aroma, fizzy light body, clean crisp taste.

Slightly bronzed gold. Slightly fruity aroma with lots of bread notes. Lean body. Loads of crispy, toasty flavours. Well-made example of a German pils.

On tap at Brewtopia. Yellowish color and cloudy. Not bad. Crisp and smooth. There were some off notes, but it wasn’t bad. Malty. Hoppy. Pleasant.

Tap at Brewtopia. Nice clear golden white head. Aroma of hops and malt, maybe a touch of DMS in there as well. Flavor is nice and malty with a good dose of hops. A touch of butterscotch in the finish, but not too bad. Nice lingering hops. Decent effort on a difficult to make beer.

Brewtopia’04. Smells a bit like an old shoe. Sweet, canvas, grass, band-aid, toffee. Some sweet cardboard on tongue, then front yard hits the flavor with weeds, grass, dirt, and fertilizer. I didn’t get the hops I was hoping for even after a second-chance sample later in the day. Still, okay and drinkable. I had the second glass with my pork sandwich.

(Brewtopia04) Clear golden body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, some floral, butterscotch. Taste is medium sweet, with a fairly sharp grassiness that hits mid-tongue and carries through to the swallow. Crisp, light-medium body.
