Bischofshof Pralat Pilsener

Clear golden color with a medium sized fluffy white head. Aroma has lots of grass and some sweet malts. Bready, malty flavor followed by a crisp hop finish. Very nice.

It’d be nice if we could land this beer a bit more frequently in the Bay Area. Aroma is grassy and a bit metallic (think a dirty nickel). Appearance was clear, yellow in color with a very nice head with good lacing. Mouthfeel was a little lazy as it didn’t have that feel a good pilsner has. Flavor had a definite hoppy character to it with a satisfying finish. Overall a decent German pils. I’d imagine this would be even better fresh.

On Tap, grassiness, some bread, very light color, almost a green tint to it in the light, easy drinking, very refreshing, abit of spice too, nice brew!

From a 500 ml. brown euro bottle with a freshness date on the back label, 01.01.05. This pilsener actually held up pretty well. Poured a clear yellowish golden with a foamy white that settled into a thin sudsy lacing. Aromas of sweet grains and biscuits, lemon honey, floral and spicy hops. Medium carbonation and a crisp, smooth pilsener light bodied mouthfeel. Delicious tasting, sweet honey breads, lemon grassy, peppery and spicy herbal hops and a dry grainy, spicy and lemon grassy finish, very good drinkability. On a hot midwestern summer day this is highly quaffable, I would like to find a fresher bottle of this, I have the feeling it is even more tasty when you get it before it’s freshness date has expired. Purchased at the Friar Tuck in Springfield, Illinois.

Nice pour, a lively golden body with a sustained creamy head that does some lasting lacing. The aroma is that of fresh bread artfully blended with a grassy bitterness. The nose follows into the mouth (?!), finishing on a mildly bitter note. Good stuff.
