Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a medium sized soapy-creamy orange-white head that left good lacing. The aroma was sweet and malty with caramel, citric hops and a bit of yeast. The flavor was tangy and astringent with citrus, and hints of caramel, honey and bread. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

12 ounce bottle thanks to cheap. Pours a dark copper color with a large white head. A light nose of Pils malt and honey. Crisp very sweet malt profile, sweeter than usual Pilsners and darker, some caramel and toffee. Low hop profile. Light bitterness trying to get in during the finish. An odd brew, but good. Very drinkable.

A rare beer. From a bottle, directly. Not a pilsner, probably a heller er something like that, not a pilsner. Yes, a little sweet on the uptake, almost cloying at times. Certainly nit a pilsner. Finish is a little difficult at times. Not impressed. Way too much personality. Some co2 in there but just barely leads to a mouth coating experience.
