12/9/2012 – early opening. Nice floral to fruit essence. Hops are
moderate. Spice.Orange ghost scent. Good pilsner! I like it. Very hearty at
this early stage. 6.6%ABV.
12/25/2012 - Some people have claimed hat it reminds them of Coors
light. It is probably true when served really cold.
12/27/2012 – aging this one is worth it. I need to figure out the all
grain version for this recipe. People loved this one.
1/16/2013 – when I said heavy, I meant that it was on the malty side
but it was pretty well balanced.
