Commercial Description:
In the words of our President and founding father, Russ Klisch, "Klisch Pilsner is a meat and potatoes beer," meaning that though there are no darker specialty grains used to influence the color or texture of this beer, it is nonetheless a full-bodied satisfying all-malt brew. The recipe is simple, but how it is put together is what gives this beer its complexity. The deep golden color and malty flavor come from an ample amount of domestic malted barley and imported hops. The addition of Saaz hops added at the end of a two-hour boil gives the beer a wonderful balance with the accent on the hops.

Firm aroma of light malt backed by noble hop. Much better than a typical American macro. Orange tinged golden color with a bubbly white head. Near medium body with mild, almost creamy, carbonation. The flavor is light malt, and near citrus hop. Of course it’s not citrus, but there is so much hop for this style. The finish is neither sweet nor dry, and the hop builds a little. Very clean. I agree, the accent is on the hops. All the comment on strength is compared to a typical American macro, not a crafted IPA. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised by this lager.

Bottle: Pale gold color, light white head and some lacing. The nose is grassy, some tin and light pilsner malt. The flavor is toasty with a light sweetness, moderately hoppy flavor, lacking some bitterness. Minerally finish and a grainy character to accentuate the over extracted malts and light hop spread.

Bottle. Pale golden beer with a whitish head. Grassy malty aroma. Grainy malt flavor with mineral and grass. Medium body. Mineral and grass linger with a bit of sweetness. Some hops they don’t help much. Blah.

Ugh! This awful. I got the 8 pack and have seen this brewer’s beers in their best and worst. This is their worst. Aroma was weak could pick up a hint of light malt, but barely. Pour was a flat light cloudy gold with no head. Taste had a vomit appeal...could pick up some banana and a tad of hops in the background. Little carbonation and too sweet. Blah.

Pour is slightly hazy ubiquitous pale yellow american beer, however, the small amout of sludge on the bottom of the bottle yeilds a wheatlike swirl at the end. Good needling personality on the first taste. Has some lemon oil or citrus bite to it. Decent amount of carbonation. Ends with some bitter lasting industrial green citrus rind.

Nice, if slightly sweet pils. Pours fine with a light head, some grainy and citrusy notes. Easy to drink with a caramel sweetness. Decent hops punch on the finish.

12 oz bottle from Lakefront Sampler from Bottle Barn; Nose of griny wheat, light yeast, a touch of banana ester, and a little citrus; tanslucent gold with a medium, glass-lacing white head; flavor is grain, light caramel sweetness, and very light citrus hops. A pretty good pils!

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow-orange with a spare, fizzy, white head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, meal), light hops (citrus, lemon), light yeast (dough) with notes of pear and solvent. Light bodied, thin texture, flat carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness; dust, grain, and citrus flavor.
