Love Sobo
American Solera

This one pours a very cloudy straw yellow color. It honestly looks more like a gose than a pilsner. Opaque, cloudy, and somewhat turbid. Two to three finger head settles on the head before slowly, but never fully, dissipating. A thin layer of velvety foam remains on top of the beer, thicker around the edges. Aroma has notes of candied orange, clementine, lemon, lemongrass, with a certain green grassy quality. Underneath the hop aromas are some light notes of straw and white bread.

Taste follows the nose with notes of straw and white bread up front quickly supplanted by the hops which do take the primary position in the flavor profile. Notes of orange, tangerine, lemon and lemon grass come through with this bright, fresh herbal note on the back end. The herbal note on the back end has this brightness to it akin to mint - it just really pops - but it doesn't taste exactly like mint per se. Feel is light to medium bodied. Crisp with moderate carbonation.

Overall its a pretty straightforward pilsner in the style of a pivo pils - the dry hopping results in the hops dominating the malt backbone. That being said, its a tasty beer, and I really enjoyed drinking it. The biggest thing for me was the saphir hops - they bring a really cool profile to the pilsner and the dry hopping allows it to shine.
