Can at home, thanks to Eszter for this one. Pours deep, clear golden with thin, quickly disappearing head. Nose is usual pilsner-like, with a subtle hint of fruits. In taste this interesting fruity-herbal (-like, I can't really name it) note appears first that later turns into the pils character, resulting in a fruity, refreshing pilsner. Closes with short sweetish-fruity finish, has average carbo and light body, goes down easily. Not bad, but this conception feels like it could have turned out even better.

From a 12 oz can. Pours a slightly hazy gold with an off white head. Aromas of spruce and biscuits. Flavors are moderately pine with some sweet maltiness.

Tap at Kalahana. Clear gold with a tight head. Honey and bready malt nose, pine, spruce, herbs, grapes, light butter. Strangely soft in a weird but nice way on the palate. Resiny, lemony flavor, creamy, touch of cardboard and diacetyl but not too much. Cask-like in body.

RB backlog. A bit esthery, chive, spruce, dough. Medium sweet, a bit tart, mineralic, light bitterness that builds up. Small, hard carbonation on a medium body. Feels much more like a spicy Zwickel, not like a Pilsner.

Dose: Hazy, golden, quickly diminishing medium-sized head, moderate hoppy-malty nose with oily traces of citrus fruits and wood; moderate, but sharp bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied and quite tart; lingering bitter-sweet finish with citrussy and woody traces, again. As Frank Zappa sang: Watch out where the whiskies, go, and don't You eat that yellow snow...

So the only time I ever had this beer was in UMass after a Temple UMass basketball game. It was snowing. The date was 1/19/02.

Honey and hay nose, in equal measure. Clear golden, medium head, little retention. Hay. Light body, easy carbonation.
