Our Bohemian-style pilsner with pronounced malty notes of honey, shortbread, and pilsner waves of grain with hints of spicy noble hops and a malt forward yeast pronunciation. A beautiful texture due to a gentle carbonation – a result of krausening. A clean malty finish with a lingering bitterness. Lagered for a long period.

Canned 5/12/26, drunk 8/14/26.
Lovely, rich, spicy hop and a backing of elegant, rich, honey-like malt. Bit of musty/cellar-like, heirloom yeast and you can call it a day. We're done, folks: Halfway Crooks absolutely destroys it, as usual.
Rich malts that dry out perfectly. Undercurrent of interesting yeast and a bevy of complex hop notes from spicy, to floral, to fruity, to herbal. Some light pencil shavings, biscuit, more rich honey...really just a study in complex yeast and hop interaction. All while being incredibly flavorful and balanced. Man, have I missed these guys! Hope Half Time keeps getting more.

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is a nice wet dough malt with some hops in the backround. Flavor is a nice clean and crisp pils malt and again some minor spicy hops bring up the rear. This was a well made and tasty pils.

16 oz. can, thanks, Timmy! Pours a clear, bubbly, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The aroma is grassy hops, coriander, rose, and light resin. Fairly dry and musty, with a mellow, grassy bitterness. Light and hard. Quality and aggressive.

16 oz can from jcos, 2/16/24. Mostly clear golden color, sheeting white head and some fairly strong lace. Sweet / bready malt, grains, honey, and some melon / citrus fruity notes. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange gold with medium white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is toasted grain, dough, yeast. Slick body, dough, yeast, bready, light finish, very good.

Draught at Delancey Grand: pours good with white head. Aroma is grainy, but in a good way, like fancy ancient grain bread. Taste is slightly bitter, grainy, slightly sweet.
