On tap at the Houston brewery.

A: Pours a clear straw yellow color. At first a two finger white head forms, but quickly recedes to a small ring by the time I get to my seat. Light lace is left behind.
S: Orange and citrus aromas up front. Lavender and peppermint? This is odd. Not much in the way of malts in the nose. Just fruity hops and spice.
T: Like the nose, more orange rind and citrus pith. I can't shake that odd lavender and candy peppermint character. Some sweetness, and very light bitterness lingering.
M/O: A light to medium body. Good carbonation, though not as clean as I would like it. Not hard to drink, epecially considering their other offerings, which I jokingly call "beer" in the first place.

As something to drink at the brewery. this is fine. Way better than all their other concoctions. I wouldn't put this in the top tier of lagers around. Either locally, or for many other breweries in the state. I find there is a very odd peppery, kind of candy sweetness, that I can only describe as peppermint. Which might just be me, but even if that was the only issue, its still not among my favorites. Let alone, being the oddest German Pils have come across in a while made by an American brewery.
