Lakefront Titanic Pilsner

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Pours a transparent bright effervescent golden with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of authentic fresh Saaz hops and pale malts. Starts with pretty good fullness and a lightly sweet pale malty flavor well-balanced with a crisp, assertive Saaz bittering and flavor hop profile before a clean bittersweet finish. Very true to style and drinkable.

Lightly hazed straw to light golden in color liquid. Moderate off-white head. Light malt and grain aromas along with some noble and lightly citric hops. Light malt sweetness that is rather quickly taken over by the hops. Fairly crisp and a mix of grassy and citric hops flavors. Finish is quite dry and a bit of tonic and toasted malt in the linger. This does remind me of the Klisch Pils, much more than the Wolski’s Pils. Rogue by another name?

Picked up a single 22-oz bomber at Discount Liquors in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Pours a clear light golden blonde brew with a decent white head that quickly dissipates and leaves a spotty lacing. Aroma of grassy hops at first and then a golden grain malt, some citrus zest and a hint of lemon. Taste is light to medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, citrus zest, and some grassy hops. Finish has a semi-dry bitterness that quickly disappears to a crisp finish.

Bomber. Poured very light, clear, bright golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up lightly floral and grassy hops over a weak pale malt base.. rather simple, but it grew on me. The flavor never did quite catch with me.. dry pale malts on the core with a light pinch of honey.. grassy and hay-like bitterness didn’t provide much character and stuck unpleasantly on the finish. Lighter-bodied and tacky on the palate with an ugly bitter impression at the end.. balance wasn’t good.. not so enjoyable.

MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering, January 10, 2009. Courtesy of Skyview. Yellow color with a medium head. Light corny aroma with some honey. Corn and grain taste, Noble hop finish.

Lots of lager yeast in the aroma and flavor. Yelow color and low carbonation for the style. Medium bodied, adequate hop and malt flavors. A well made pilsner in the central European style, very good for an American effort.

22oz bottle 4/10/2009 (Discount Liquor-Milwaukee)-Pours a hazy golden with a decent white head that dissipates quickly into a small covering. Aroma of grains, corn, malt, and slight hops. Taste is of the same with a bit more grains and a tad of citrus thrown in. A light bodied brew that has a sharp bitterness on the back end. Not bad.

Straw yellow with the mildest of haze and a fluffy white head, quickly fading. Aroma of grassy hops, noble hops, pale malt and a touch of skunk. Watery body taste of grassy hops, pale malt and diacteyl. Finishes dry to astringent. Meh.
