Oct 16, 2009 Green 12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a foamy white head. Nose is grassy, skunk. Flavor is corn, cardboard, paper, metal. Fizzy mouthfeel. Ugh.

Oct 15, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, bright, heavily effervescent yellow color; fluffy white head with good retention and mixed-bubbled lacing. Slight amount of skunky character in the nose, but underneath is a pleasant floral and herbal bitterness and a nice dry core; I think would be quite exceptional in a non-idiotic bottling. Lively carbonation; again, a light skunking, slightly overzealous bubbles, but the core is nicely dry, the herbal notes and mineral hop presence follow through; a very nice pilsener that fails by its green bottle and poor carbonation control; which is sad, because there’s a really great beer here otherwise. With time, the skunk fades and the bubbles (with some vigorous swirling) go back where they came from; deservedly underappreciated? We’re close to the source, and I’m hoping to try this on tap if I can find it somewhere. Medium finish of basic toastiness and sugar; touches of cardboard; nicely dry, with a touch of mineral zestiness; bit o’ skunk.

Oct 8, 2009 Green bottle...Uh oh. Pours with a pale yellow body and a fluffy white head. Grassy, skunky lightstruckness, grainy, bread. Definitely not the worst pilsner I have smelled from a green bottle. Taste is harsh, metallic, light struck, bitter. Corn and bready notes. Thin and violently fizzy. Not good. Why green bottles?

Sep 22, 2009 Pour a yellow with a green twinge. Small light white head. Smells lightly of citrus. Taste is of grain with a even bitter sweet flavor. Soft feel and moderate carbonation.

Sep 16, 2009 Do I really need to describe the skunky pils aromas and flavors? Do I need to tell you that it has a grainy flavor with some stinky hops? Oh shit, I guess I just did.

Sep 15, 2009 Aroma says it all. Just like too many other beers that smell awful and deliver the same taste.

Though from Bottleworks where it was doubtless handled well, I’m not sure this was the freshest. Some skunk the aroma detracting from what could otherwise be a quite nice coupling of grainy and gently sweet malt with a dry assertive close.

Sep 12, 2009 Boy does this hit the spot right now. Light but with a bit of spice to it and a good dryness. Great beer after a hot day!
