Bight pale yellowish golden colour with a very active carbonation that hold the near perfect lace together.

Very expressive in the hop department with herbal and spicy aromas and flavours that solidly dominate the senses but not to the point of being overwhelming. Touch of biscuity doughy maltiness within, very clean with a dry long lasting hoppy finish.

Perfect with some spicy homemade sausage at Redbones. If you like your pils with more than enough hops this is the one.

Serving type: on-tap

Had this on-tap @ Redbones. Presented as a crystal clear, pale golden beer with a wicked tight white cream head with plenty of lace stick.

Aroma was a hop attack on the nose ... quite spicy, herbal and perfume-like.

Hops! All hops. A dry beer with an amazing hop character that's spicy, prickly to the palate with loads of earthy herbal characters. Malts are bready and subdued by the strong hop presence. Thin tropical fruitiness and a sweet tea-like backbone. Dry grain finish.

More hops than your average pils, but that was the point and the wonderful thing about the art of brewing ... you don't always have to follow style to make a good beer. Personally, I loved the defining over-the-top hop character. Without it ... it might just be any old pils.

Paired nicely with homemade sausages, catfish fingers and greens.

12oz bottles served in DFH "shaped" pint glass.

A: Bright and mostly clear. Straw colored. Fluffy white head is sizable due to aggressive pour. Head dissipates rather quickly. Lacing present and a small ring of foam hangs around for a while.

S: Cracker-like malt and green, grassy hops. Mild citrus. Suggestion of mint.

T: Exactly what you'd expect given the aroma. Fresh baked bread. Herbaceous hops. All in all it's very crisp and rather quenching. Peppery in the finish.

M: Light bodied. Feel is smooth and slick. Maybe a little less spritzy than it's German counterparts.

O: This has always been one of my favorite pilsners. A little hoppier than more traditional examples, which is what makes it so tasty. This is a staple in my fridge during the summer months and a go to anytime I'm craving a nice solid pils.
