save our shore donates money for a good cause (the gulf coast oil spill recovery).
pours a yellow color, and was poured pretty aggressively for a pretty good head which is a white pillow on top of the body.
smells pretty much completely of pilsener malts.
the taste matches, only with the taste i'm a little more disappointed. its lacking. plus, i get a hint of alcohol in the taste. its 7% but still.
mouth feel is pretty much average, can't really complain.
its a drinkable beer.

i hope it sells enough to do some good for the gulf.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Thank you to shan8454 for this one in trade.

Appearance: Golden with a slight haze. White head of about 2 fingers and it leaves a trace amount of lacing.

Smell: Floral notes with hops and some pine.

Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth light to medium bodied. Taste of hops and piney notes. Some other flavors I can't quite nail down.

Overall: Good brew for a good cause. I would have this one again.

Brewed in louisiana. Bottle from bevmo for 3.49 and 75 cents goes to charity to save our shore. First time trying it. Nice big white head looking hazy n pale yellow. Flowery, very hoppy for a pilzner. Crisp clean n refreshing. Im impressed. Id buy it again.

A - A nice clear golden pils with low amounts of bubbles but a huge foamy, 2 finger head that depletes quickly.
S - Subtle hints of honey compliment the aromas of grassy wheat and malty grains.
T - The weizen taste of banana (I don't know what it is; I always taste hints of banana in hefeweizens) along with the honey and wheat drive gives this beer its light and relaxing profile. Very little alcohol taste.
M - Very light and thin. More carbonation than expected considering almost no bubbles in appearance.
O - A nice beer to sit back and relax with. Drink it cold or don't even bother. The difference is startling.
