Total surprise from Heatwave33!

Pour is very clear light yellow. Small white head. Without looking here, I knew it was German. Very sweet and slick malt makes this thing easy drinking. Very thick and sweet body, almost syrupy for style. No real hops to speak of, but I dont fault them at all. The German Pilsners Ive had are simply sweet and drinkable. Finishes a bit more chewy with a very late earthy/medicinal hop feeling coming on exhale.

An American take on a German Pilsener, thicker with more hops. Might be the best American German Pilsener Ive had.

One of the lucky ones who got to try this seemingly limited release from CCB. Thanks guys! Wish you'd make more...

A: Crystal golden with a light beige head, nice retention, pretty.

S: Sweet, sharp cheese, malty, faint fruity hops and notes of raspberries hiding in the background.

T: Awesome pilsner, very earthy and refreshing. No "bite" to it. Yet not sweet...somewhere in between, which is what I love about a great pilsner. This is definitely one of the best I've had.

Value: All CCB beers I've tried so far are 'you get what you pay for' types. Not cheap, but they don't drink cheap either. A winner...

thanks to duff27 for gifting this beer to me after a recent trip down to florida! Thanks duff!

poured into New belgiam globe glass.

Appearance: slightly hazy straw yellow bodied beer with a 2 fingers tall white head.

Smell: grainy and ceral like lager malts. Orange rinds and grass notes.

Taste: upfront you get grainy lager malts a touch of fruity yeast and a slight bitter kiss of grassy hops mixed with a touch of citris.

Mouthfeel: On the high end of light bodied beer with moderate carbonation. Crisp and refreshing drinkable beer.

Overall: better than your average pilsner! Nice hot weather beer to drink anytime! One of the better Pilsners that I have drank in a while.

A- Inch tall white fluffy head on a slightly cloudy light golden body. excellent head retention and spider lacing for the style.

S- Cereal grains with a touch of grassy hop aroma.

T- Initial grainy malt sweetness. Hop bitterness/flavor is there but I feel like they could have just amped it up half a notch to make this one stand out that much more. Leaves a bit of an adjunct-y (corn?) aftertaste but not as bad as most.

M- The mouthfeel is perhaps my favorite aspect of Patio Pils. Huge, full mouthfeel on this one. Medium carbonation.

D/O- An easy drinker for sure. Aftertaste is a tad distracting but I will say the second half of my pint went down faster than the first. Still would prefer a Prima Pils or Sunshine Pils...worth a try for Pilsner fans in general though.

A: single finger head on a murky bright golden body. Decent lacing.

S: lots of grains and pale malts with bready notes.

T: bready malt base with slightly bitter and fruity hops providing banana notes. Very herbal finish.

M: medium body and high carbonation.

Overall: very complex pils but not as refreshing or crisp as I like my pils but I think this was purposeful. Not a beer to drink often but definitely one to try.
