Commercial Description:
Dogwood Pilsner is what a real pilsner should taste like. We use only German malted barley, a German lager yeast and dry hop it with whole leaf Czech Saaz hops. We then condition, or lager, the beer for two months allowing the clean, crisp flavors to develop. This extended lagering is almost unheard of in todays bewing industry. We then allow the beer to naturally carbonate. It truly is a remarkable beer.

A little hazy golden amber color. I hint of hops in the nose. Caramel notes in the flavor with low bittterness. Could use a little more bitterness for a pilsner.

hazy golden orange. aroma of freah oranges and limes with honey, earth and bready malt. more fresh fruit in the flavour with fermenting dought and tart fruit. finish is pithy and bitter. maybe not a traditional pils, but a pretty tasty lager

Pours honey gold and hazy with a very thin small beaded head. Honey, citrus and grassy aroma. A bit doughy. Big mouthfeel. Fresh tangerine flavour. Acidic but enough malt. The finish is very cereal malty and tastey.

Medium sort lived head, cloudy. Unfiltered lager, amber orange hue. Sugars and fruits dominate the aroma . Light alcoholic finish . Unusual flavours of mango mixed with chewy malts, oats and medium bitter hopps.

Pours out with a pale golden yellow body that is a bit too hazy for a Pilsner. The head was smaller than anticipated and dissipated quickly. The carbonation was medium to low but was helped along by the Pilsner glass I poured it in. Smell was very hoppy with a characteristic whiff of sulfurous and sweet Saaz hops that is spot on for the style. Taste leans quite a bit on the hoppy side. Malts are nicely in the background with mild hints of caramel and honey like sweetness and lemony tart acidity. Mouthfeel is medium and does not feel dumbed down like the mass produced European beers. The aftertaste is a bit harsh but goes well with the raw, down to earth character of this beer. Nicely drinkable local pilsner that would be a great start for a macro convert before moving on to more adventurous stuff.

This beer just sucks. Lots of pine, mustard and overly dry hopped, make this undrinkable. Sour and acidic.

This is a pilsner? Yellow appearance with a nice head. Flavor is citrus with a hop bitterness. Very aggresive for the style, but that's a good thing. Similar to an APA and much more ass kicking power than its wimpy pilsner cousins. POW!
