Commercial Description: A style of beer that many of us cut our teeth on, the American Standard Pilsner. Although it’s usually served right from the can, you can quaff ours right from the pint glass. Neither malt nor hops dominate the flavor profile letting our fresh mountain water come through.
Sep 9, 2009 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.
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.
