Jack Russell Huntsmans Lager

Brewed by Jack Russell Brewing Company
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Camino, California USA

12 ounce bottle purchased at Corti Brothers in Sacramento, CA. Tasted malts in the aroma with a bit of floral aroma as well. A little metallic, spicy, and yeasty. Virtually transparent golden body with a small, quickly dissipating off-white head. Thin, watery, lightly floral and lightly toasted start. Becomes a bit minty and a little spicy. Lacks hops and carbonation. A little diacetyl. Boring, devoid of hops, and relatively uninspired.

Hhm. Aroma of slightly wet dog underlain by near-caramel malt. Think there is some noble hop as well. Amber tinged, brassy gold color with a white head that flattened immediately. Nearly medium in body, somewhat biting in carbonation. The malt is very much towards roasted. Maybe biscuity. The malt then turns towards lightly roasted. Finally some very decent grassy, and perhaps floral, hop arrives. So the struggle to goal line: touchdown: clean, crisp, bitter finish with enough malt to balance. How this beer ended up this way I have no idea. My mouth is still liking the last mouthful. I vote for it being a good pilsner in a dunkle mode. Really good.

Medium gold color. Medium head. Aroma is malty with a touch of cardboard and some other weird smell that kind of hard to identify. Its not wile or bad, just sorta weird and unidentifiable. A medium bodied pilsner. Malts are mild and slightly sweet. Hops are very mild and a touch floral. It’s very drinkable, and way better than most pilsners, but its still kind of average. Smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
