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.

Bottle. Clear gold with a quickly diminishing white head. Aroma of straw and grass, with some light citrus Saaz. Bit of a sourness in the aroma as well. Unappealing stale cereal flavor--papery and weird tasting. No crispness or substance I’d want in a Pils. Thin and watery. Not liking this much.

From a 355 ml bottle with a brewing date of Week 2-August 07. I bought an eight bottle collector’s set from this brewery and everything I have tested so far begins with an unpleasing yeasty aroma. This one is no different. It pours a cloudy yellow with no head to speak of. The taste is also a beat on the yeasty side, which doesn’t meet my expectations of a traditional pilsner style. Ir eally didn’t care for it.

Bottle from a sampler from Whole Foods Market in Charlottesville. Pours pale golden with an almost nonexistent head. Malty aroma with some bitterness. The bitterness in the taste dies in the beginning and is followed by a somewhat offensive sweetness. Nice effervescence.

Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a small white head. Smell: Pilsner malts and a pinch of spice mixed in with a heap of fresh hay. Taste: Pils malt with a soft touch of sweetness. Vaguely spicy, mild hop bitterness. Grows increasingly watery near the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: When you can’t find a Kölsch, reach for a Klisch. Then go back to looking for that Kölsch.

I was hoping for a little more out of this one. There’s none of the noble hop tingle that I expect from a good pilsner, but the bone malt isn’t too bad. It just comes across as lightly sweet crackers and nothing to balance it.

Pours a golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is grainy, pilsner malts, honey, and some peppery hops. Flavor is grainy, honey, pilsner malts, and a light peppery bitter finish.

Placid golden with no head. Aroma is toasty, biscuity, and almost smells of raw malt. Taste is biscuity with a mild cheesy edge, and a bit of fruit.
