Commercial Description:
This hoppy German-style Pilsner is winning the hearts of local brewery loyalists and national award show judges. And its earned the starring role at our anniversary parking lot bash this summer. Moving into the summer months, Deschutes Brewery is celebrating its 18th Anniversary by releasing a Pilsner by the same name. The newest beer in the Bond Street Series, 18th Anniversary Pilsner is a light, refreshing lager that is brewed mostly with Saaz hops from the Czech Republic and 100% Pilsner malt. Eighteenth Anniversary Pilsner might be a bit hoppy for a traditional pilsner but it maintains a delicate flavor profile that showcases our state-of-the-art German brew house and our brewers’ passion for this style of beer.

Pours very light and clear with a white head. Flavor is well balanced citrius hops with a light malty sweetness. As pilsners go this one is a standout.

A quality beer even if it’s been awhile since it’s been bottled. The aroma is quite sweet, grassy with a bready touch. Flavor is noble hops, with a soft citrus angle...extremely quick and clean finish. Looks a bit odd in the glass, almost like a watere-down lemonade...and odd pale yellow color and a big fluffy white head. Nice beer.

Not bad, but not the best thing that I have ever tried from Deschutes. A very bready malt background, with some light lemony citrus zest notes, some earthy herbal hoppiness. A typical take on a pils.

Bomber, courtesy after4ever. I have no idea how long this rating has been sitting around, before I entered it tonight. It has to be well over a year. But as A.A. Milne observed, “One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.” Pours clear gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma and taste of noble hops, fruit and biscuit. Yup, this is a Pils.

Light colored straw-golden body with a decent white head. Bready, malty, hopped nose. Flavor was citrusy and earthy. Not like a standard pils at all. Tangy lemony finish. Not bad at all.

For this style of brew I cannot imagine it coming closer to perfect for my taste. Ugly and pale in the glass with a nice, pure white h ead. Very sweet and dry with a grassy, hay, tart flavour that really works well. vey lemony with a slight malty, oat twist. The malt missing in most pilsners plays a strong role in this one and really makes it a fine drink.
