Maritime Pacific Portage Bay Pilsner

Brewed by Maritime Pacific Brewing Co.
Style: Pilsener
Seattle, Washington USA

Straw yellow with tons of lacing & white head. The aroma is watery, bland. The flavor has some citrus & 2-row. Watery, bland, flavorless, not thought provoking.

Tap@The Jolly Roger. Grainy and thin, some saaz, but this was pretty typical of microbrewed lagers in the NW, pretty tame, and not much happening. Maybe i missed something as others have rated it much higher, but i didn’t see much in this one.

Comments Hazy gold,small head.Light malt nose. Light malt start, crisp hop finish.

Bronze with nice head. The aroma was lightly hoppy, moreso than typical of a pilsner. In the top quarter of pilseners. Light hoppy flavor, easy drinking, moderate flavor, but still rather bland as well.

A very vivid yellow color like a BMC? Nice frothy head though. Very complex for a pils, very refreshing and full of flavor. No adjuct flavor either....not bad!

Great pilsner, Maritime always makes a quality beer! golden honey colored, with nice solid head, sweet malt character, refreshing hop finish, perfectly balnced and drinkable for hours!

Most of the Maritime Brewing company beers tend to be more of a ’unique’ experience rather than a beer you would return to and drink on a regular basis. This Pilsner, however, despite it’s Budweiser looking clarity, has a very smooth taste, and a wonderful sweet flavor! There is a light hop aroma, offset by strong flavor somewhat like a slighly sweeter, more carbonated, but less hoppy version of their IPA. There is no bitter aftertaste; definately a beer that can be enjoyed multiple times in one sitting.
