Gordon Biersch Pilsner

Brewed by Gordon Biersch Brewing Company
Style: Premium Lager
Palo Alto, California USA

Golden beer with lots of big bubbles in a white head. I got faint citrus notes and a dusty malt sweetness. I noticed the hops but the finish was a little metallic. Good with Chinese food.

Light golden appearance, simple white head. The nose is lightly fruity with a slight maltiness. Nice crisp bitterness in the body, fruity and a bit of citrus. A straighforward, yet nice pils.

Nice smooth pilsner that goes well with blooming onions.

Pale gold, little head. The looks don't bode well. Aroma is somewhat malty, but with a somewhat disturbing note of new vinyl. Flavor is smooth with light hints of hops (highly hopped? I think not) and a fair amount of bitterness coming in late. A little bit of metal in the finish. There are much better pilseners out there.

Pours a golden color with a frothy white head. Some hops in the aroma finished off by a hint of malt. Kind of light however in the hoppy taste, could have used more. A little bitter but a crisp taste nonetheless. A decent brew from Gordon Biersch.

Sampled on tap at the brewery in San Jose.
Crisp and hoppy. A nice gold color topped by a dense white head. There is perhaps a faint bit of haze. The aroma is of continental hops, as it should be. The beer is finished by a light bitterness. Fortunately it has been served warm enough to get the subtle malt expression. A bit more hops would make this beer wonderful.

Nice yellow color with moderate head. Not the worst pilsner out there. had some malt flavors and bitterness at the end

Golden pour with nice head. Toasty aroma with not much hops. I think this could almost be a lager with this lacking of hops. The malt is excellent though, lots of toast and biscuit. Yummy, I could drink this again.
