Leinenkugel IPL (India Pale Lager)

It's an IPA! It's a lager! It's neither! It's both! Hoppy as advertised, IPL pours a coppery amber with a pinky-width of a head...scanty, but it doesn't go away. The hops give a predominantly citrus feel, with some hidden pine notes. It somewhat reminds me of a good pilsner...not those Americanized, mass-produced LCD lagers, but a good Czech pils. Might not have been what they were going for, but other than the color (a true Pilsner will be a bright golden hue) they have it nailed.
