Road trips are balls-out adventures loaded with unexpected twists, just like when this beer hit black ice and got spun!. It started out as an IPA recipe, but halfway down the road it blew a tire and a Pilsner yeast was pitched as a spare; an IPP yo! The fiery Pilsner backbone adds a nitrous-like boost to the van load of hops that would make any German pucker up when those hop afterburners singe their lederhosen!

on tap, pours pale gold with a medium white head. Aroma is hay and grassy hops. Flavor is crisp and clean malt with a nice peppery herbal hop bite that is surprising and extremely dry and clean in the finish.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of sweet fruits - peaches and lemons, as well as some malt and hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruits and cardemomme, as well as medium notes of malt, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is dry grassy and slight spiced. Bitter and wheaty flavoured, light sweetness and mild spiced. Lingering hoppy and light fruity finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma is a Pilsner, flavor is an ale. A very interesting combination and I’m glad to have been able to try such a beverage. I could really see myself drinking this when it is quite warm outside - but as it cools, I just don’t think it would hold up as well.

Bottle from goldtwins - thanks! Pours a soft yellow with a modest white head and light lacing. Nose is mild of hops and maltiness. Taste is more hoppy (citrus) than expected for this style. A little grassey and malty, but a nice session ale nonethless.
