There is something about the pilsner that just hoppy and very much like weed.

Slightly sour aroma initially, makes you think the beer is off at first. But in mouth it's mostly just plain. Strawlike. Golden pour with ok head. Finish cloys a little. Tap at 14th Street location.

Relatively crystal clear golden coloured body with a fairly large five to six centimetre tall pure white head that stays afloat for a long time, but the most noticeable here are the thousands of large floaters that twirl around - crazy looking and not so great! Aroma of oranges, bitter grapefruit peel, dry grain, herbal hops, some alcohol and grainy, biscuity notes and finished with a light sweetness - in the nose - at least. Medium-bodied; Incredibly drying, grassy and very grapefruity and especially herbal, astringent metallic and super bitter pungencythat shows a lot of the hop bitterness still noticeable with a slight balance of light malts and perhaps a tiny dose of the blood orange notes here as well, but those don't seem to add to the sweetness. Aftertaste is nice and robust, fairly one-dimensional (dry) but at least with only one major direction - there is some complexity, as fruits, hops, malt and especially grassiness all seem to contribute to the astringency, dryness and bitter quality from this one. Overall, a nice, but super dry, bitter and incredibly pungent, orangey (without any of the sweetness) IPA that shows closest to a Brut style, but this has notes of West Coast as well, but enjoyable to me, very bitter and astringent, but that's the way I like them - great to have, pretty fresh, as well! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Laurel, Maryland on 06-December-2022 for US$3,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 03-February-2023.
