Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
Biscuit/cracker nose with some sweet malts and fruity hop notes. Medium brown body with hints of copper topped with a foamy Whitehead that doesn't last long and leaves sudsy lace. Mouth is lightly carbonated.. somewhat creamy your light and clean in the palate. Hints of chocolate and coffee in The malt bill followed by a touch of caramel notes leads to an exceedingly clean finish that is short-lived. Certainly one of the ultimate sessionable beers.

Just had an Ayinger and followed it up with this. I have to say I think this is quite inferior. Nose is mild with some funk... Some honey... Maybe some bubble gum. Clean clear golden body with short-lived whitehead. Mouth is medium bodied perhaps slightly under carbonated. Flavor is just bizarre it tastes more like a watered-down hefie. There is a hint of clove and or bubble gum which seems entirely inappropriate for a standard pilsner. There's a very astringent aftertaste. Maybe I got a bad bottle who knows.

Perfect pils aroma... Lemon zest, fresh cut grass, maybe a hint of almond extract. Pours a very clear pale gold with a decent head that doesn't have much staying power and leaves no lace. Great mouth.. tingly slippery and clean, slightly light body. Pills flavor doesn't get any better than this.. tart, a little bit of must, slightly astringent towards the end, perfectly bittered and perfectly balanced. And some lemon rind and fresh grass the super clean finish.

Sweet malts immediate upon the nose.... Fresh baked bread... Just a little floral. Light copper body topped with a whitehead with minimal retention and minimal lace. Mouth is creamy and quite effervescent. Medium bodied. Flavor starts a bit hoppy.. mid taste goes a bit sour.. malt showing up in the finish which is rather lengthy. A touch of astringency in the finish. Gets better as it warms.

Huge nose of citrus and pine and mango. Looks just right for a NEIPA... Totally hazed dark amber body, Great lace, and a whitehead with moderate retention. This big beer brings all of your mouth into play especially the back outside tongue. It's pretty clean is moderate carbonation. If you're looking for something that's hoppy as hell and will call juicy has really at least as much old-fashioned California IPA flavor as it does normal New England juice bombs then this is the one for you.
