Draft at the Reservoir - Waterbury, VT. Pours clear yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. Lovely citrusy hops in the nose, some mellow pale biscuits. Light-medium sweet flavor, with more smooth and juicy citrus fruits, moderate piney bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish with notes of bright citrus and biscuity sweetness. Solid pils.

12 ounce can from Capone. Hazy golden, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of pale bready malt, tropical fruits. The taste is tropical fruits, lime zest, pale bready malt. Medium bodied, well balanced. Nice beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a hazy vibrant yellow-gold color with a medium sized fluffy wthie head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweetish, chalky, perfume and citrus followed by a second layer that was tangy with a bit of honey. The flavor was medicinal with lots of band aid and perfume. Long medicinal and band aid finish. Medium body. Pretty awful.

Fresh can from Downtown Liquors refrigerator, drunk 8/13/15.
As I pop the top, initial hop notes seem promising, with leafy green, lush, fruity hop notes and light citrus. As I pour it, a bountiful, white head rises up atop a brassy-golden body, well-carbonated and showing good clarity. However, I’m greeted with a pretty distinct petrol-like character....Very, very domineering and definitely highly out of place. It takes over and pushes the light citrus notes aside...
The flavor is very phenolic, slick, and shows a big, rather malty-sweet body. The petrol/phenol thing is joined by some diacetyl and after one or two sips, it’s off to the drain....will certainly try again as I don’t see too much mention of it.

Can from Bert’s slightly hazy deep yellow color with a bubbly white head. Light sweet bready maltiness. Melon hop aroma with an almost smoked or bacon quality that is odd and at times distracting. It took 4 cans of this before I though I had it figured out. I take a few sips and it shocks my palette a bit then halfway through the glass I’m kind of digging it. Interesting, but I didn’t like it enough to purchase again.

12 oz. can purchased at 7-11 Kittery, ME. Hazy off golden color with lasting head retention. Aroma is light grass, touch of earth and light citrus. Earthy and fruity.
The texture is yeasty with some malt giving a larger mouthfeel for a Pils. In fact it really doesn’t drink like a pils, feels more like a Fuller bodied APA. Hops are mild in the finish with little to no bitterness. I have no Idea what the hell a Nouveau Pilsner is but I like this.

Pours hazy gold into a pilsner. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Citrus and cracked malt aromas. Thick with earthy summer fruit and caramel upfront turning to mild bitter pith in the lasting finish.

This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a slight transparency about it. Carbonation was seen rising to fill a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds. Messy clingy lacing sticks to the glass.
The smell starts off with a sweet melon, light grass, sweet citrus and light hay.
The taste remains sweet with a light bready to biscuit sweetness running over the previously mentioned flavors. Barely any aftertaste but slightly sweet biscuit, and it has no finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation feels barely there leading to a sweet creaminess over my tongue.
Overall, as a pilsener, it works. It hits all of the marks, nice collaboration between Jack’s Abby and Otter Creek.
