Handbottle from IrishBoy. Golden with a thin white head. Aroma is light citrus, with some hoppiness peaking through, and malts. Taste is malty, nice hoppiness showing through, nice depth with the malts that were used though.

A bonus hand bottle from irishboy. Ummm, you already sent some pliny for no reason! Shared among a few, we all appreciate it. Pours gold with a nice white head. Aroma is as expected, wheaty, yeasty, a bit of funk. Flavor is similar with a nice hop profile going on. grassy, grainy, some malt. Finishes a bit boozy, I put this around 8% having known nothing about it. This is probably the best beer of this style I’ve had, just not my thing.

(hand bottle from irishboy.thanks man!light orange body with a small white head.the aroma blends up melon,hay,and a tiny wiff of hops.the flavor is dominated by biscuits type malt,and is followed up by some melon,hay,and again a small hop presence.overall pretty solid.full flavor for a 5% beer.

Draft at the brewpub. VERY pale yellow color with a white head. Toasted malt aroma with a hint of hops. More toasted malts in the flavor. Tons of hops. Pretty unlike any other B. Pils I’ve ever tried.

Tap @ Russian River. Poured a clear gold color with a large white head. Floral hops and a light sweet malt make up the flavor. Crisp bitter finish with a light body and a medium length to the finish. Semi-sweet. The aroma was floral and citrus hopped.
