Tap at Barcade: Pours a muddy honey/orange color with no clarity and an off white thin head. The aroma has some fresh bready malt character along with a touch of honey and spicy hops. Creamy and frothy body. The flavor is very spicy with a nice balance. Has a honeyish and doughy sweet background with plenty of earthy/dirty spicy hop character. Has some lemon zest and flowery hop components along with peppery and twiggy hop spiciness. A solid, earthy Pilsner.

Aug 27, 2008 On tap at Barleys in Knoxville. Poured a clear gold color with a huge bubbly white head. Aroma is grassy with some bread and yeast. Flavor reflects the aroma. The bitterness stayed on the palate for quite a while. Good beer.

Aug 12, 2008 Bubbly golden beer with a fluffy head. Huge grassy hop aroma. Flavor is biscuity, bready, and very grassy. The bitterness is pretty big for a pils as there is a strong lingering grassy bitterness. Actually pretty damn bitter, and thats how I like it.

Aug 5, 2008 Had this on tap at the Summits near Stone Mountain. I asked the bar maid what type of beer is was since I had not heard about this. She said it was a really hoppy IPA. Coolness, I said. I’ll take one. Not really all that hoppy and, of course, not an IPA. Anyway, the appearance was OK - not much of a head. Aroma was slightly hoppy, but none of the citrus aroma. There was a decent amount of banana though. The mouthfeel was quite good. All in all a decent pilsner.

Jul 29, 2008 Clear golden with dense white head. Faint hop aroma and a dry with pine hop essence takes the lead over the malt profile. Not a top choice from one of the best breweries in the country.

Jul 12, 2008 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC.
Aroma: Very hoppy, citrus, flowery. Some pils malt.
Appearance: Very clear light orange. Not a lot of haze. Two-finger white head that lasts forever. Lots of lace on the glass.
Flavor: Nothing too complex. Pretty bitter, lots of initial hop taste as well as a lot of hop aftertaste. Sweet and fruity in the middle with a pils malt.
Palate: Very smooth, medium carbonation.
Overall: A great way to style a pilsener. Very drinkable and an enjoyable bitterness. Like I said, not too complex. Nothing special, but still very good.
