French Broad Goldenrod Pilsner

Brewed by French Broad Brewing Co.
Style: Pilsener
Asheville, North Carolina USA

Not bad. Funky, sweet aroma. Somewhat offensive. Flavor is typical for a pilsner. Sweet, light and not much too it. Still better than the macrobrew pils p00p out there.

on tap-pours a thin white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain, secondary/faint aromatic hops . Crisp. OK effervescence.

it’s a light pilsner, but you have to give credit, not too many microbrews have a flagship lager, this is a good light drink, I had on a few occassions, out of a growler, at the brewery, at other bars on tap, it is a pilsener so nothing special, but good and light...

Draught. Pours a light hazy gold with no head. The aroma has suggestions of buttered corn, fresh barley, and spicy paper. The flavor is clean and crisp. It’s not heavily sweet like some other pilseners, but appropriately so. The hops show up in a husky flavor with mild spicy notes popping up in the finish. There is a slight hint of the sweeter notes in a Scotch. This okay, I guess, but certainly not my preferred style.

Clean. Light yeasty aroma. Very true to style. A little tangy, crisp, hoppy and biscuity. Very slightly astringent. Clear light gold, clingy head, nice tap label. A very good pairing for food. Long bitterish aftertaste. Medium light body. Nothing too intricate, but nice.

Not bad at all for a the style. A little lighter on the hops than I like my pilseners. The malts were very pleasant. This was a very crisp beer, a good one to initiate your non-connoisseur friends into the world of microbrews of wnc with.

Draught at Fishmonger’s Seafood Market & Restaurant in Durham, NC. Clear straw color with big creamy white head. Nose is of honey, butter, and sprucy hops. Dry and slightly bitter with a hint of honey and grain. Very crisp and appropriately carbonated for a pilsner. Very good for style.

pours out a yellow color with the white head, very typical looking pilsner. taste is sweet and sort of corn flavored. my dad made the comment that he thought it tasted similar to bleach, i might have to agree with him. not the best pils ive had, and certainly doesnt stand up to prima pils.
