The beer is pale, pale yellow, and the head is a nice, bright white with bigger bubbles that still manage to leave lacing on the sides of the glass, and that's pretty unusual for this particular style. The aroma is more in line with what I've come to expect from a pilsner with its flower and bread dustiness. The beer presents very well and almost cartoonishly looks like a beer.First sip is sweet malt with flowers kicking it in the background while honey and grains enjoy the limelight (although this is probably more like a bit of lemon rather than lime, but I have to go where the idioms take me). It's relaxed and fairly nice to sip. It's almost a shame to gulp it, but that's just the way things go.
Tip-in is sweet nectar with honey and gentle grains while carbonation tingles ever-so-slightly. The middle asserts itself with prickly wheat while the carbonation increases and the sweetness swells (possibly a little too much). The finish is a bastion of bitterness against the torrent of sweet that culminates in a musty finish that trails-off a bitter-sweet cloud.
Bottom Line: Pretty good. Almost good enough to move to the 1st Shift.
3.75/5
