On tap at Haymaker.
3.75/4.5/3.5/3.5/4
Bright yellow with creamy head. Clear and effervescent.
It smells fantastic. All hops, no lager. Bursting with fruit and bitter flowers.
Kind of flat and creamy, as odd as that sounds. Vaguely nitro-esque. This is a mild mouthfeel complaint that fades by the aftertaste, which is crisp and carbonated. The flavor is muted, but still pleasantly hoppy, with a grassy, lemony feel.
Points for style. As far as pilsners go, this is an interesting and tasty one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beer pours a hazy yellow golden color with a one finger, creamy white head that dissipates quickly and leaves many tiny spots of lacing it it's wake. Smell is actually pretty pilsneresque and not the major hop bomb I was expecting. Don't get me wrong there are strong aromas of floral and lemon zest, but the crackery malt is the most notable scent. Taste is a different animal. Lemon zest, orange, floral and grassiness, spiciness, and a hint of tropical fruit are all front and center with the pilsner malt taking a back seat, but still provide a nice backing for the hops to shine. Feel is light, but the crispness seems to be covered up a bit from the sticky resinous onslaught of hops. Overall a very enjoyable beer. Crushable, flavorful and perfect for summer. Maybe not quite to style, but I care more about how enjoyable the beer is, not how on point it is stylewise.
