On tap at the Stone Company Store in Pasadena, CA.

Pours a murky yellow with a foamy white head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of grain, grass, hay, floral, earth, and tomato sauce aromas. Taste is much the same with green tea, floral, grass, and hay flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer with unique super earthy flavors, but there is an odd tomato sauce smell that is unexpected.

Serving type: on tap.

This is the best representation of a hoppy pilsner. Very dank aroma and a hop bomb of a beer. Loved the crisp pilsner finish. PUT THIS IN BOTTLES!!!

Poured from draft into an 8oz stemmed tulip.

Style – Hoppy Pilsner / IPL
Appearance – Clean golden / straw like color with a decent white foam head
Nose – Classic pilsner aroma with some orange, mango, mint, and herbal spices
Taste – Some of the nose carries over with tropical fruit and a light graininess
Palate – Easy drinking beer with a clean hoppy finish
Overall – Crisp, Clean, Refreshing…Hoppy. An awesome beer with a classic pilsner taste mixed with tropical punch (Hi-C, Carpi sun) and crisp red apple.
