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.

Dull colour, lacking both carbonation and head. Smells kind of catty, a little bit minerally, and fairly herbal. Drinks light - not really enough bitterness for a pilsner. Still a bit catty in the hop character. The malts aren’t bad, but they’re not bright either. A bit disappointing.

(12oz bottle, bottled first week, November) Small white head atop clear straw body. Aroma is mild, medium sweet,some herbal/floral, grain. Taste is medium sweet, herbal, cereal, some floral, light metallic. Some bitterness, to be certain, but very mild. Light-medium body.

Light burnished amber body wearing a sticky if thin white head. Gentle caramelly nose with plenty of fresh hay and crisp grassy tones. Delicious toffee notes mingle around the slight apparent tartness and beg for a sip. Nutty palate, floral and highly crisp. Could use more bitterness, but this must have a few months on it easily. Crushed grains suggestions create a superb cereal side that shows its malt foundations through a firm medium body. Great pils.

Pours a clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma is a green leafy and flowery one. Flavor has some malt profile, but a strange off-putting chemical (acetone and ammonia) finish hovering on a Saaz hop bitterness. This really tasted awry to me, perhaps I got an old bottle. I wouldn't know, the bottle only lists the week and month the beer was brewed, no year.
