Aldergrove Czecko Pilsener Style Lager

Brewed by Steffans Aldergrove Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Marysville, Washington USA

12 oz Bottle - I have heard of there being quite a bit of variation in this brew, but from the single bottle I sampled it was truely a phenomenal lager - easily the best I have ever had the opportunity to sample. Deep, rich pilsner malt backbone that was lightly biscuity with a great grainy profile. Very light citrus notes and a grasyy component. Amazing drink.

Bottle courtesy of riversideAK. Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells of citrus, dry pilsner malt, light spice, some grassy hints. Tastes of biscuits, pepper, a hint of dry malt, spice, some floral hints. Nice!

12 ounce bottle from Bottleworks in Seattle, WA--Poured a Hazy straw-orange body with a nice blanketing frothy white head. Cold, spicy, chill nose. Bright carbonic mouthfeel. Sparkling, crisp, malt body. Very refreshing and deserving of the "Pils" name. Loved it!

6/7/08 On draught at the ExBeerience beer festival. Aroma is light malty and low on sourness. Appearance is hazy gold with a medium white head. Flavor is clean, candilike sweet malt forward with carbonic, spritzy low noble hop bittering. Overall, extremely easy drinking, and sweetness is never overpowring.

Botttle. Pours dark gold with a fluffy, lacy white head that diminishes quickly. Sweet, biscuit and Saaz aroma. Light body, fine carbonation tending to the light side of things. Bready taste. Slight sourness on the exit.

soft hop aroma is weighed down by dust, reminds me of the air after a rainstorm. dull gold has more color than most pilseners i’ve had. solid malt backbone but lacks the sharp finish for the style.

Amber gold color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet bready with some grain and a little butter, some perfumey hops, and a little orange wheatiness. Bready sweetness, grain, and some light floral hops in the finish. It’s a little creamy in the mouthfeel too. Interesting take on the style, but it tastes ok nonetheless.

pours a goldish amber with a medium size white head, good lacing. smell is of hay and malt, earthy, a touch of citrus. taste is malt, sweet, some pear, and a slight hoppiness.
