Coast Range Farmhouse Hayloft Pilsener

Formerly brewed at Coast Range Brewing Co.
Style: Pilsener
Gilroy, California USA

Bottle. Nose is slightly herbal hops. Little bit of bitterness, some yeast and nutty malt flavors. An ok pilsner for a session.

overall a good pilsener, a good maltiness throughout and a decent amount of bitterness.

A very nice pilsener from this great brewer. Pour was a classic pilsener hazy gold with a 2 finger white head. Aroma of bread, light malt and beer. Taste was awesome. Classic pilsener taste without the metal so common in the style. Nice malt taste in the front with a great mouthfeel. Hoppy aftertaste that leaves the mouth and throat bitter. One of the best pilseners I’ve had to date.

Quite decent pils, lots of grain and sweetness, some bread,Malt, but hopped well enough, a easy refreshing drink, at a great price, good!

22 oz bomber shared with others. Ubiquitous pale yellow amercan lager color and appearance. Typical beer aroma with just a little candy sweetness. Aroma carries over to the flavor, also has a candy like flavor somewhat like many good dorts I’ve had. Mild flavors and medium low carbonation. Very little bitterness at first but the pilsner bite slowly builds to something that is apparent. Friendly and sweet except for that pilsner bite. Not quite as bitter as many pilsners and I found this brew rather enjoyable.

not a bad beer. poured with a clear yellow gold, off white head and little lace. Nose was a bit yeasty, hoppy, bready, and bittersweet. Taste is the same. Drinkable. Satisfying, decent finish.

Pours with an initially two-finger thick, frothy, light tan colored head that sits atop an ever-so-lightly hazy, gold colored brew. The aroma is a mix of sweet malt, dried hay, grassy malt, dusty crushed malt, hints of apple and even some green grape notes.

Sweet malt notes, mingle with a herbal, grassy hop flavor and a finish of lightly astringent, bitterness. The beer has a solid bitterness from beginning to end that provides a much needed balance to the simple, sweet grain character. This is fairly clean, like a good Pils should be, but somehow lacks a crispness that I would like to see; I think that the malt is just a touch muddied or perhaps dusty is a better descriptor. The malt is not nearly as clean and bright as I would want in a Pils. The hop bitterness is a bit too green & astringent too; again this keeps the overall character of the beer from being clean and crisp. The malt sweetness accentuates a fruitiness that is reminiscent of golden raisins and hints of apples. It is nice and light and easily sipped on a hot summer’s day.

This is a tasty Pils, it just is not quite integrated enough to be a great example. I am definitely happy to be drinking a 22oz bottle of this though.

Pours golden with lasting head. Leaves lace on the glass. Aroma is hay and grassy. Flavor is dry with a lingering bitterness. Crisp and easy drinking.
