Sierra Blanca Pilsner

Brewed by Sierra Blanca Brewing Co
Style: Pilsener
Moriarty, New Mexico USA

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin head, attractive lacing over a pale slightly cloudy body.....nose mild hops, mild malt with a bit of non specific spice....taste of mild hop, mild malts, with minimal follow through...rather too light for a Pilsner. 11/12/2008

Pours a pale gold with a respectable, glass-coating white head. Aroma is sweet pale malt and grass. The taste marks this one as an excellent pilsener. Crisp, clean, refreshing taste of malt sweetness along with a hop flavor and bitterness which is very obvious but not overdone. Great effort. I’d put it up there with Victory as an excellent domestic pils.

Thanks to Terminus aka Beerdrenched aka TannerTavernBoys for bringing this pils back from his west coast trip. Pours clear golden with a quickly diminishing white head. The aroma has lots of pils malt, light diacetyl notes and a hint of spicy hops. Medium / thin body that’s more lush than most pils and has some semi-sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with pils malt that’s fairly rich along with some spiced hops and bits of grass. The finish shows some oxidation and more spicy hops. This seems like an aged decent pils. Hopefully I get to try this fresh at some point and give a rerate.

Pours a light yellow color with a white head. Aroma is grainy, with some light malt. Flavor is grainy with a slight apple hint to it.

Poured a clear yellow color with a small white head. Sweet and caramelly. The flavor is pretty malty and sweet as well. Light bitterness on the finish but doesnt remind me of a pilsner.

From a 12 oz. long neck bottle with no freshness date, served in a pilsener glass. Poured a hazy yellowish golden with a foamy, soapy white head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing. Nice aroma, lemon fruity and floral, a subtle spiciness and sweet grainy malty. Moderate carbonation overall and a crisp, dry and cleansing, smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel. Good pilsener taste, dry, sweet grainy malts, a touch of dry bread, a light lemon fruity, a nice spiciness from the hops, cleansing in the palate and a dry, earthy grain malty finish. Very quaffable pilsener from Sierra Blanca, I wish this was available here in Illinois.

Crystal clear, very light in color with a white head. Mildly spicy hop aroma. Great hop flavor, resinous and bitter. Has some sweet maltiness to balance it out. Not bad.
