Penn Pilsner

Pretty much fits the commercial description except it didn’t mention the quickly diminishing head and poor lacing., very tasty brew, definitely meant to be a session beer as it goes down very easy with no one thing to the forefront,, nice malt and hop marriage.

Bottle from BeerGestapo, served in a footed pilsner glass. Gold pour with a thin white head. Smells of bready malts and...well that’s it. The flavor is malty and crisp with some grass and DMS in the middle. I don’t know if this has gone downhill at all since it started being contract brewed in Wilkes-Barre or not but it certainly isn’t that impressive.

8/27/2009: Penn Pils... Aroma: Floral with notes of white wine and apple cider. Appearance: Rich golden color; 2-finger puffy, off-white head that has good retention. Flavor: Slightly sweet, good maltinss for the style; floral middle; lightly crisp finish with grassy hoppiness. Palate: Medium-light to medium-bodied; smooth and soft in the mouth. Overall: Not disappointed; complimented my steamed mussells with fennel and spicy sausage very well!

Draught at the Tap Room at the Omni William Penn in Pittsburgh, PA. Rating #226 for this beer.

Aroma - mild maltiness; Appearance - golden color, fluffy head, very nice lacing; Flavor - light malt taste up front, back has a slight bitterness, dry finish; Palate - unusually smooth for the style; Overall - lighter than expected, very easy drinking.

Perfectly clear golden yellow. Grassy aromas, earthy and light caramel. Well balanced with a lightly toasted malt back and a nice clean bitterness, fresh noble hops. Finish is slightly metallic.

another surprise! me actually liking a vienna, how about that.. who said anything about a carjacking .. great little sturdy head .. light sweetness, some grain and light hazy, like the mores of scotland .. . pretty decent stuff. . . so did bart!

Comes out of the tap a clear golden yellow with a thick white head. Aroma is crisp, malty and quite inviting. Flavor is crisp and malty like a typical pilsner, with a fruity undertone and more rounded out than most pilsners I have tried. Texture is tingly, lively and sassy. I am not a big fan of pilsners or lagers, but I did like this one and I recommend it to pilsner lovers.

Not my favorite style but this was OK. Very light all around. Hoppy aroma and taste. Nice light amber with a small head. A little watery but refreshing.
