Back Street Jagged Little Pils

On tap at the Pizza Port Session Ale fest. Listed as the Irvine Jagged Little Pils. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Aroma is grassy and bready, sweet with herbal, Saaz hops, Tons of them. Taste is clean with grass, saaz, a bit earthy and nearly some leather. No complaints here. Light bubbles, dry.

On tap at Vista location. Color was a clear, pale gold. Aroma of toasted bread with an earthy hop finish. Flavor of bread, light fruit, earth, with a slight hint of BO. Hopped nicely. Solid beer.

One of my favorite pilsners, clean and crisp, how that style should taste!

On-tap at Vista location. Pours pale yellow with a moderate size white head, spider web lace. Smells sweet, crisp and light malty. Tastes sweet and bright malty with some nice green hops. Tasty for a light ass yellow brew. Thin body, good carbonation.

This cleverly named Pils pours a clear dark golden color with a medium thin and fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Spicy Saaz hops aroma. Light-bodied and moderately hoppy with some malt backbone, as well as some spices. The finish is hoppy with a lingering hops aftertaste. Average overall.

Hazy and golden. Mostly saaz and light diacetyl in the nose. Warming diacetyl on the palate. There’s a lot of saaz, medium bitterness for style, and fairly full-bodied malts. My misgivings are the diacetyl (acceptable in the style, but not to this high an amount IMO), and the lack of voluptuousness in the malts (they get a bit doughy).

Tap @ Vista location. Poured a clear gold color with a white head. Sulfur and corn notes mix into the malt on the aroma. Sulfur and light malt make up the flavor. Bitter finish.

[Part of sampler @Vista, CA] I’m not a big pilsener fan, this was drinkable though. Light pale yellow. Grain, with a bit of hops
