Commercial Description:
Named for the delicate engravings popularized by 19th century seafarers, Scrimshaw is a fresh tasting Pilsner brewed in the finest European tradition from Munich and Klages malts, Hallertauer and Tettnang hops. Scrimshaw has a subtle hop character, a crisp, clean palate, and a dry finish.

Pours a clear gold with a tight, frothy, off-white head. The aroma is of bready grain, wet straw and light grassy hops. Light-bodied and thin with a crisp dry finish, the flavor is an effervescent bready malt front with a lightly grassy and dry conclusion. A decent pilsner with a mild hop presence, but it’s a tad too dry for my tastes. I like the whale tooth carving on the label used to tie in with the name.

Bottle. Golden color with a frothy white head that is lacing nicely as it diminishes. Aromas of bread dough-malt and a hops presence that is a little bit skunky. Flavor is fairly heavy for a pilsner... malt presence is big, and hops come through with a slightly lemon and peppery spicing to finish things off. Very nice and full pils.

Draught at Collins, NYC. Yellowish golden colour with a slight haze. Coarse medium-sized white head. Crisp citrusy and grassy hop aroma. Little malts. More citrus flavour. Very light-bodied. The hops are there, but they do not stand out in any way. Finish is a bit watery and thin. Malts never get a say.

Bottle. Faint malty aroma. mild flavour without much bitterness. Quick disappearing finish. Not what I’d expect in a pilsener. A bland, unoffensive session bier.

Light gold pour with a nice thick bright white head and significant lacing as I drink. Smell is fresh, clean, slightly malty and a bit more hoppy. Taste is smooth, clean, with a mild hop flavor. There isn’t a big bitter bite, like in a lot of pilsners, but it is simple and refreshing. A touch of hops and sweetness in the finish. A great easy drinking session beer. I really like this one, even though its not exactly what I’d expect in a pilsner.

clear golden with a nice fluffy lasting white head. decent lacing. light sweet corn aroma with a touch of grassy hops. sweet corn biscuit flavor with a bit of dry grassy hops. finish just a bit too sweet. the finish becomes fairly dry as it sits but just doesn’t have that sharp crisp bitter finish that you want from a pilsner. light body. moderate to lively carbonation. drinkable....just not what i wanted out of this beer.
