Angel City Pilz

Brewed by Angel City Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Torrance, California USA

Bottle pours a slightly hazy light yellow with a small quick white head. Light grain malt aroma. Flavor is sweet and very lightly hoped. Your basic pilsner but better than the american Macros, thats for sure. Thanks Jordan

Bottle: Clear yellow with a small white head. Faint aroma of malts and bread. Taste is sweet and malty, herbal tones, sours, and a crisp grassey presence. Not bad, but not all that great. Thanks Jordan.

Bottle: Gold color, nice head nad lacing. Nose of light malt and hops. Some lotiony pilsner malts and a bit of herbal hops. Toasty, light bitterness in the flavor. Clean and bit unbalanced. Eh.

Served on draft at the 2007 Avila Beer Festival. Pours a hazy sunshine yellow with a nice white head. Aroma is entirely corn (in a good way.) Flavor is definite corn with very light body and alcohol influence. No hop flavor to speak of. A great example of a Classic American Pilsner. The style calls for a slightly grainy, corny flavor and aroma and it comes through. If you’re a Bud/Miller/Coors drinker you’ll find this has too much flavor for you. If you like homebrew this is one of the tastiest American pilsner beers you’ll find.

I dont know what everyone else is tasting, but it tasted pretty much like a true to form pilsner to me. Crisp, easy drinking, some biscuity flavor. A little sweetness as it warmed. It was just a regular brew.

From a 22 oz. bomber bottle with no freshness date. Poured a clear dull golden with a small foamy white head that quickly settled into a fine lacing. Aromas of grainy, biscuity malts and sour lemon honey. Moderate carbonation and a crisp, sour, tart, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. A weird sour, tart taste for a pilsener, a sour lemon honey fruitiness, sweet grainy malts, far too sweet for me, not much in the way of hops, I guess some spiciness, but I may be trying to talk myself in to that, and a dryish, sour fruity finish. Not my idea of a pilsener, too much of a sweet and sour effect, I won’t be trying this again.

Wow, not too much like any Czech or Deutsch pils I’ve had, not a terrible brew, but interesting, huge citrus flavors to this one, with alot of sourness, hazy like a hefe, strange.

22oz-Hazy orange color with good head retention. A faint aroma of citrus. It tastes like unsweetened lemonade. It finishes with a STRONG sourness and it lasts. Not sure if I had a bad bottle but it seems like it is just missing.
