Jasper B Hill Pil

Brewed by Jasper Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Jasper, Canada

Cask@Jasper Brewery Brewpub, Jasper. Pale golden beer with a mildly dry aroma and a dry, watery and mildly hopped flavour. Overall nice dry beer but average

Slightly hazy yellow gold brew with an ok white cap. Decent retention and good lacing. The aroma was wet grass (not lawn - more of a wild prairie grass), touch of honey and slightly fruity. Comes across with a nice ammount of tangy stiff hops and a lots of grain (???) as well as tasting dry. Not really all that smooth - a bit rocky actually which for whatever reason was good. Nice solid hop finish. Good length for the aftertaste. I like the hops they have used here. This is a good beer.

Tap, at brewpub. As Sutter Hill Pil. Lemon yellow colour. Low sticky white cap. Grainy dryish malt nose. Flavour of moderately crisp and grainy malt, light grassy hops. Body was light as was the mouthfeel. Straightforward German influenced lager.

Draught at the brewpub, as Sutter Hill
Blond color, nice perlage. Many German Lagers are like this non-Pilsner (not very interesting but balanced); maybe it’s just a bit more perfumy.

Draft 6 oz at the brewpub; Pale beer with the same shine and gluey head as teh honey beer. Lightly malty aroma. Fruity and tangy with a puckery little bite to it. Bit light for a pils, and almost indistinguishable from their honey. Quaffable, though. (#2887, 5/15/2007)

On tap at Jasper Brewing Company. Poured a clear paler golden with a well-retained cap of creamy white head. Nose was of sweet pils and pale malts, and lemon... simple, soft, and pleasant. Very nice initial flavor (smooth pale malt, pils malt, and sourdough breadiness)... but found some diacetyl, unwelcome pepper, and vegetal notes on the back end. Creamy on the palate upfront, but ugly on the back... tacky pale malt finish.
