We took pilsner malt and some rice flakes, then T-90 hop stood, incognito-hop dipped, Spectrum-hop oiled, and Cryo-DDH dry hopped for good measure, all while listening to Pet Sounds on repeat. Voila, California Pilsner!

Look- Golden yellow with constant trails of carbonation running to the head that was white and thick. It didn't stick around very long though. 4.25
Smell- Immediately blasted with strong citrus floral notes as soon as I started pouring. Sweet grassy, rosiny herbal notes as well. 5.00
Taste- Grapefruit pith, lavender, lemon. So floral and light sweetness. 4.75
Feel- Crisp with great carbonation. 4.50
Overall- A great crushable beer. I love the brightness of a lager but the hoppy notes of an IPA. This is a great example, that holds true to the style. 4.5
This review goes out to Cave Dave. Not Fade Away brother.

L: slightly hazed, pale straw body; frothy white head
S: crackery Pilsner malt, tropical citrus, lemon, grapefruit
T: candied lemon, pink grapefruit, passion fruit, nutty(?) Riwaka, pineapple, cracker, rice?
F: medium body, moderate carbonation, balanced finish
O: over and over Riwaka hops hit the spot just right for me. This was a great beer!

Canned 3/7/23; drank 4/18/23 @ the Yarchives.
See-through pale yellow appearance.
A rough pour yielded a huge eggshell head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace remained.
Lemon & candied grain notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Lemon & candied grain flavors.
Not sure what a "California-style Pilsner" is, but this was enjoyable!

Bright pale gold, saturated color, ample foam, drippy lacing.
Fresh hoppy aroma, green and earthy, floral with mild dry sandalwood notes.
Taste is lightly bitter with some dank citrus rind and melon notes. Crisp and finishes dry. Well balanced with an assertive hop character, clean, balanced and very drinkable. A hophead’s lager, and a unique interpretation of the emerging style.
