Pretty cool looking bottle. Let's see what's inside.

The beer was a golden color with a big, fluffy, white head. The head lasted for quite a while and there were plenty of active bubbles crawling up the side of the glass.

Very faint aromas of...nothing. Maybe a little bit of lemongrass? Maybe? There was the tinniest bit of a boozy sting as I drank it, but again, there wasn't too much there.

Grainy and, well, pilsner-y up front. Nice amount grassy hops. Finishes with a little bit of alcohol. There is a lingering bitterness, but it lingers a little bit too long for my liking and it's a bit messy.

Nice bubbly carbonation tries to scrub the palate clean. Pretty drinkable. I'd say this is the redeeming quality of this beer.

While the brew is very drinkable, there just isn't enough going on with it. The nose was lacking and the taste was too messy. I pretty much picked it up because the bottle looked cool. Hopefully the other beers in the series will be more complex.

Had another Humdinger and it was great. This just sort of lost its way somewhere
