Schwelmer Pils

Brewed by Brauerei Schwelm
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Schwelm, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

A sweet pilsner, but great for summer. Was a good tailgating beer that went down nice and smooth.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of pivnizub. It pours a golden beer with a nice white head which leaves a some pretty lace. Interesting aroma of mandarin orange, lime, hops, papaya and malt. Biscuity pale malt profile showing up which is accompanied by nice hops in the taste. Good balance. Decent bitterness. Medium bodied. Citrusy dry finish. Clearly a quality classical german pils- very nice. Thanks a lot pivnizub!

On tap for growler fills at Half-Time. Pours a sort of candy yellow with a thin white head. Light citrus, but very faint, and really empty. A little bit sweet, but mostly just bitter grains, a touch acrid. Cigarette butts, paper, and cardboard. Better than most macros, but still not something I’d generally drink. Probably a decent enough lawnmower or campfire and hotdog beer though I’d imagine.

(bottle - 500 ml swingtop) Clear gold color with lots of carbonation but surprisingly little head. Aroma is hay and dry grass mixed with some light hops and a touch of sweetness. Some apple notes as well. Flavor is dry and sweet at the beginning with a very mild and stale hop backbone. Lots of sweetness permeates the body at the finish but leaves a dry and bitter aftertaste.

Kind of a darker clear golden body with a thick 3 finger head. Good lacing. Smell is average of hay, hops, and light malt. Taste is a bit sweet at first but a solid hop ending that balances it well. High carbonation and an earthy feel to it.

Not bad. Little sweeter and maltier than most pils. Gives it a little outside the box character, but on the other hand, maybe not really in the right direction. Poured from the little swing top bottle that foamed over when opened with a medium white head and a tiny bit of lace. Color is a light to medium amber. Aroma is grainy, malty, hint of hop, and honey sweet. Flavor is the same but more intense. Body is decent. Interestingly, bitterness comes out more in the finish.

500ml bottle. Soft white foam head that sat atop a golden amber coloured medium bodied beer with a good balance of carbonation. Aroma was average and nothing really distinctive. mild and pleasant flavour.

pours copper orange with thin beige head, the aroma is toffee and the flavor is sweet caramel.
