Had this one at the Dogfish Head tap takeover at
Coles in Buffalo, NY.

This was one of the last beers I tried and had no expectations for it as the thought of a pilsner doesn't interest me much. This beer is a game changer for pilsners, or at least a mind changer.

The grains get a chance to shine in this beer and the hops are there to balance things out. There is evidence of hops in the aroma and flavor but they are not the star. The higher alcohol helps dry out the finish for a nice overall experience. What struck me the most about this beer is the grains create an almost unsweetened ice tea like quality.

Very drinkable, a bit sessionable, and very very enjoyable.

Serving type: on-tap
