Refrigerated dark green 358 ml bottle corked and caged poured into a weizen glass. Pours slightly hazy bright golden with medium bright white head fluffy head, and big fluffy white lacing. Medium body, hight carbonation, and estery aroma with a hint of skunk. Taste is estery citrus, some coriander, and some skunk. Please put this in a brown bottle. Great palate, but falls short in everything else.

New Beer Distributors, NY 375ml ($4): Pours sexy big white head and golden body. Aroma is grassy hops and a hit of citrus. Taste is somewhat bitter. Very nice and smooth. Some degree of complexity. Nice little pilsner aftertaste with some bitterness lingering about. Quite a good pilsner.

Whole Foods, Bowery 375ml ($7): Pours a peach color with a white head. Aroma is cherry, hops, and some other fruit flavors. Taste is slightly sweet at the front and then gets more bitter towards the finish, with a sort of dry feel towards the back. Fruitiness is way lower than I expected at the outset. Aftertaste is, however, very cherry. Pretty good beer. Would be a nice session. Alas, too expensive.

Hazy dark brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is semi dry and just a little soft. Minerals. Mildly sour malt with a whisper of smoke. Very mild red berry fruits underneath. Dry finish. A decent little beer.
