I made a trip from Chicago To Milwaukee this past weekend for dinner at Karl Ratzsch’s. We got there early so had a seat at the bas. I asked if they had any Kolsch. They said yes and poured me a stein of a very nice tasting beer that wasn’t kolsch but very nice non-the less it was a good tasting beer.
As it turned out it was called Klisch, the name of the founder of Lakefront Brewery and it was a Pilsner.
It was a medium amber with some really different flavors. It’s a hoppy beer but not the usual hops taste. Must be the Saaz. There is a fair amount of maltyness coming through also.
A pretty wekk made beer

Jun 29, 2008 Darker than what I think of as a pilsener. Full mouthfeel, aroma and taste of spicy Euro hops. Definite twang on tongue during sample. I’d give this to anyone asking for a crisp lager.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottled. Pilsnener? Who got to vote on that classification? Not even remotely a pils IMHO. Maybe more true to the Vienna style? Cloudy appearance, very malty and no real hop character at all. Not a bad beer, but weird to call this a classic German pils.

Jun 7, 2008 12oz brown bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester as part of this brewery’s sampler 8-pack. Pours a light straw body with a quarter inch of off-white head that quickly dissipates. Smells sweet and bready, as well as slightly fruity. Tastes sweet, bready, slightly nutty... Not a lot of hop presence (surprisingly). Light bodied with moderate carbonation... Tasty and drinkable, though not quite to style IMO. Still a pretty solid beer.

May 11, 2008 This light bodied brew pours a straw yellow colour with virtually no head. grainy and slightly malted on the palate. not a whole lot of flavor, just very light and smooth. Crisp and clean with a slightly grainy finish.
