Left Hand Polestar Pilsner

Brewed by Left Hand Brewing Co.
Style: Pilsener
Longmont, Colorado USA

bottle, sweet nose with straw coloring, nice slightly bitter with small sweetness, very quaffable

Super light orange-yellow-yellow color. Surprising brew from Left Hand. Smells and tastes like most other American macro pilseners. Standard. Super-light body. I, personally, think Left Hand could have made a much better pilsener than this.

Bottle. Ultra clear light gold body with a quickly fading loose foamy head. Nose-awful garbage juice and more adjuncts than I have smelled in a long, long time. Just a really bad macro nose. Taste-straw, rice, adjuncts, Coors Light times 2, light unsweet garbage juice, very light skink, clear water, thin. Doesn’t suck but it is just a really clean pale lager tasting beer. I guess I could drink shit load of this, but I would never do such a thing.

Clear yellow beer with average white head. It is definitely crisp and refreshing, but lacking that true pilsner flavor. A little disappointing, but not horrible.

Pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is semi-sweet of grains and light hops. Decent beer, kind of sweet with a semi-bitter finish.

Left hand Brewery night at Three Cellars, Milwaukee. Once again a very easy Left Hand Beer. One of the better Pilsners I have had. Smooth no stand out flavors, just a well balanced beer.

On tap at Bodega, 5/1/08; started off the night right with this satisfying pilsner; it hit the spot after biking.

12 oz bottle: Shimmering straw colored pour with a pitiful cap that quickly spreads to a thin ring around the glass. The nose is corn and not much more. No hop presence in the aroma. The body is a little more exciting, with an astrigent grassy note taking the lead. A heavy corn note takes over from there, leading into an equally bitter finish. Hmmm, not much malt definition and the hops are simply bitter. I love pilsners that are delicate and this simply isn’t one.
