Jasper B Hill Pil

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.
