Hazy, cloudy pour with a small head that left quickly. A lot of unidentified particles (yeast?) at the bottom of the glass.
Amazingly strong aroma of apples, and an acidic taste led me to believe that this was more like a rustic English cider. In the end it resembled some kind of weird hybrid of cider, saison, wit and hefe, and was just about as far removed from the Pilsner label that the brewer had put on it that you could imagine.
Watery mouthfeel, and a lingering acidicly bitter aftertaste. Not good.
To be fair this is the very first offering from the brewpub and, given time maybe things will improve. I am happy to wait and see, but this was a pretty bad start.
