Holy crap I may have found my new favorite pilsner. This was just unbelievable for the style. Sampled on tap at 3 Floyds. Looks great, clear golden color with a thin cap of white head and very strong sheets of lingering lacing that persisted, eventually fading to large rings. Smells of some muddled hops, mild caramel and vanilla, malt and corn. A little grain. Taste follows the nose, incredible balance and flavor with lightness. Easily sessionable and crushable - I would easily drink multiples of this on a hot summer day. Crisp and refreshing. Mouthfeel was our of this world - smooth and mild and moderately creamy. Not used to that feeling from a pilsner or lager. Really outstanding.

This is not a pilz. It is hoppy. No metal. No sweetness. This might be a weird aipa, but bears no resemblance to pilsner.

Flying Tigersault is a beauty of a pils. The body itself is as dense a golden as you could get. It's deep, bright and polished. The clarity is top notch, my fingerprints can be seen through the body. Streams of carbonation rush through the clarity like a freshly poured glass of bubbly. The foam is rocky and dense and a finger in height on the pour. That finger sticks around for an eternity, falling just a bit and becoming all sorts of craggy. This is a fine looking beverage.
The nose will get the mouth watering instantly. Honeyed biscuit and crackery grains get it moving, they're abundant and clean. There's a sturdy, nay, robust freshly cut grass hop presence. There are undercurrents of apple dumpling. As the beer sits in the glass, and a swirl takes hold, freshly baked bread rises. Fresh, clean, crisp.
The flavor follows the nose stride for stride. Again, that honeyed biscuit and crackery maltiness starts it all off. It's clean as could be. That spicy, robust buzzsaw of grassiness cuts the middle and follows through to the finish. Under the healthy Noble hopping some a soft sweetness of apple dumpling and the heartiness of freshly baked bread. This beer is ultimately clean, well layered, exceptionally hopped, and delicious.
The body is on the lighter side of moderate. Carbonation is lively and effervescent These two characteristics by themselves are delightful but with that added buzzsaw of spicy bitterness, it really puts the feel over the top. This puppy is bone dry and leaves you wanting, needing drink after drink. The mouthfeel of this beer is a bullseye.
Three Floyd's is something else. The flavors they can pull from hops are bar none. Their bold, dark beverages are menacing, rich and dangerous. Then, they go and brew a 4.8% pils that's exceptionally clean, crisp, and well done. It's fresh and bringing a bite. It has a great malt profile, good depth. All this jammed into an insanely drinkable, light abv brew.

Leave it to Three Floyds to make a Pilsner exciting and yummy... most beers of this type are boring and taste the same in my opinion. Not this one....got a bit of a bite and worth having a second.

Looks real nice. Goes down smooth. Great on draft. Not as good as Gumballhead, but nice to try something new.

Pouring from a 500 ml. bottle into a pint glass, this beer pours out golden and absolutely, incredibly, beautifully, perfectly clear. It forms a pinky width of tightly packed, eggshell colored crown. Couldn’t ask for a pils to look better. 5
The nose brings a sweetness of honey and sweet corn mixing with a biscuit element. Has a fresh cut grass hoppy presence. 4.5
The taste offers an apple presence up front before turning to the honey biscuit character. Sweet, creamy corn showing as well. A bit green from the hops and is showing way to grassiness, but still toned back on the hops from what I would expect out of FFF. Which for this style, is a good thing. 4.5
The mouthfeel is dry. Medium-full body for the style and perfectly carbonated. Leaves you licking your lips. 4.5
Overall, this is a rather decadent and savory Pilsner. A lot of different sweetness layers mixing with that biscuit element and a balanced grassy hop presence lead to a flavorful treat. A flavorful treat of a Pils. Rating to style. 4.5
