Heater Allen Pils

Brewed by Heater Allen Brewing Co.
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
McMinnville, Oregon USA

22oz bottle recently purchased in Portland. Pours a slightly hazed light golden yellow with a nice thick 2 finger white head. Looks nice in the glass. Nice crisp Pils nose...super clean dry hay, pepper, grassy hop, some citrus notes, very light cracker aroma as well. Light crisp clean but full of flavor. Grassy and lightly sweet dry cracker up front then bitter earthy hops wrapped up with with some very faint citrus. I love this stuff and would buy it all the time if it were locally available to me.

22oz - Aroma of straw, hay, pale malts and floral hops. Flavor is perfectly balanced sweet malts and floral hops. Palate is creamy and smooth. A tasty and silky pils.

From a 22 oz bottle this poured a very clear golden color with a very nice fat white head and quite decent lacing. The nose is a solid floral hop and caramel malt aroma. The moutheel is exceptionally clean and smooth. The flavor is very refreshing, and the the finish is dry and bitter. An exceptionally good plisener.

22oz bottle pours a crystal clear golden with big, frothy white head. Grassy hops and a little sweet malt in the aroma. Taste is cereal/bready malts balanced with a light, but assertive bitterness. Clean, refreshing, and utterly drinkable. This would fit right in if you put it next to a lineup of Czech pilsners. Tastes fresh as can be, but is at least three weeks in the bottle, and probably more. I want more. Please send bottles to WA, and Chuckanut, please start bottling as well.

Bottle. Poured dark orange red with thick white head. Moderate lacing. Darker than most pilseners. Medium aroma of hop, new hay and fresh grass. Medium flavour, maltier than say.. Pilsener Urquell, balanced. Lasting hop finish. Worth having another.

Bottle shared by Ted. Bold nobel hops and plenty of pilsner malt character in the nose. Lots of herbal hop flavor. Sprite carbonation. Very dry finish. Quality.

Hazy bright yellow with a slight orangish tint; medium frothy head settles down without problems. Aroma a little nondescript for a hoppy beer, hard to pin anything specific down, perhaps tree bark. Wonderful hoppy flavor, bready, grassy, a little yeasty, medium bodied. Just incredibly tasty and refreshing, and was this not my only bottle which my awesome friend so thoughtfully brought back for me from Portland Oregon, I would drink this all the time and in large quantities. One of the two best pilsners I’ve had to this point.

For a pils this is damn good. Hazy yellow pour. Light head. Floral hops, honey, yeast, and light fruitiness in the aroma. Flavor is really well balanced between hops, yeast, dryness, fruitiness and a nice level of carbonation. Very good beer.
