Not a %$^ing Pils

 This was supposed to be a standard Pilsner, made for my shipmates on the Black Rose.  It didn't turn out quite right.  While it was greatly enjoyed by all and may be my wife's favorite of all the beers I've made, it was declared to be Not a F*(&ing Pils by Meistr Alain and Lord Ciaran...and the name has stuck :)
