Boulder Creek American Standard Pilsner

Brewed by Boulder Creek Brewing Co.
Style: Premium Lager
Boulder Creek, California USA

Draught at the Surfrider Cafe. Yellow with a small white head. Faint aroma of sweeter pale malt and grassy hops if you really pay attention. The flavor is very light with faint clean malt and nothing else. Crisp on the tongue and and light in body. Actually tasted pretty well made, but they unfortunately nailed a pretty bad style. Watery and bland overall.

Draught at the brewpub. As advertised: basically a good version of the typical American non-craft beer style (though I’d call that a premium lager rather than a pilsner). Bits of malt, just a hint of hops, hint of brewpub-ish yeast. Fairly good overall--- none of the weird adjuncty flavors that the mass-market versions contain, at least.
