A - Pours a clear golden-orange with a finger of frothy white head atop. Head fades down at a normal pace leaving behind some light lace.

S - Aroma is a mix of bread and grain with some citrus hops, some sweetness, and a touch of pine.

T - Starts off with some sweet grain and bread with some citrus hop and bitterness. Through the middle, some more sweet malt comes through with a touch of pine. The finish is a mix of sweet malt, grain, biscuit, bitterness, and a touch of booze.

M - Medium-plus bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a sweet and warming finish.

D - Pretty drinkable. Feels a bit rough and a bit warm. Needed some more flavors to balance out the body and booze.

Hazy yellow pour, weird to see a pilsner this cloudy, but the vibrant color and 1" white head with uniform lacing down the side still make for an above average attractiveness in the beer.

Aroma was boozy and hoppy at the same time. The massive amount of noble hops are staggering. Can be quite bitter and astringent at times, I don't think you're supposed to have a pilsner this big. Mouthfeel just a tad too hot for my tastes, neat in concept, but in execution, given its in a bomber, not a repeat purchase.
