Crazy bad label !
OK says it is a "Foggy Pilsner" , but it pours clear yellow like most pilsners?..Nice bubbly white head and lace.
Quite a yeasty/malty nose,but i do detect some noble type hops.
Taste is very balanced between the malts and the weaker hopping..NOt bad but not what I was expecting.
Mouth feel is on the thicker side for the "style" But drinkable enough.
To me this is a perfectly serviceable Helles rather than a pilsner..foggy or not.

billed as a foggy pils, this unfiltered lager leaves a little bit to be desired, probably the least impressive of the three pale lagers we drank in here, but credit to these guys for brewing and having three lagers like this on tap all at once, i appreciate that in the dead of summer for sure. this is just a little sloppy in a few ways, like i can taste a ton of the yeast but its not that clean or dry in the ferment, so its sort of out of place. the malt base is very light and its also quite hoppy, but to me its disjointed, even messy. for one, i need a lot more carbonation in something like this, its just north of flat and that doesnt work in this kind of beer. second, the relative sweetness running through it seems strange, like why not dry this out a bit more, it doesnt really add anything. i do like the floral hop profile and the fact that there are some minerals in the water profile that give it a certain interest, but the beer isnt crisp, and it lacks the kind of refreshment value i was hoping for. its also not all that hazy, despite being sold as such, that extra grain character is missing then, and really the whole thing is a bit of a miss for me. probably my least favorite of what i drank in here...
