Style: Pilsener

Thanks Very much to WhaleMan for sending me this unexpected Western Pils!

Pours with a beautiful golden body and a creamy white head. The aroma has some lovely notes of citrus, mostly lemon; suggestions of cut grass, orange blossom honey…very fragrant and tantalizing! Geez!! The flavor and palate texture are absolutely superb! The flavor brings a nice biscuity maltyness, very buttery with notes of lemongrass in the finish! This Pils would match perfectly with a Japanese meal! – This is far and large the best example of a Pilsner I’ve ever had, Tremendous!

Pours a lite golden with a rater modest head for the style. Aroma of noble hops and the grassiness that can go along with them. Very floral and aromatic. This is really clean with a nice malty flavor and a great hop finish. Very impressive.

Poured a slightly hazy pale yellow with a thin white head. Nice hop aroma with a little fruit. Taste is quite nice as well. Lightly fruity with a crisp flavor. A nice beer. Thanks Eric.

Crystal clear straw hue with fizzy and fading white head, okay lace. The aroma hints of grassy and floral hops, lemongrass, lightly toasted malts, a touch of honey, and mild allspice tones. The taste starts malty with a grassy tone. Also detected some lemon, spice, bready and musty yeast. The finish has a lingering bitterness but not powerful. The mouthfeel is surprisingly overall smooth and mellow, is a bit sharp initally around the edges. A quaffable session pils, easily drinkable on a hot New Mexico afternoon. Thanks Eric for the bottle.

Hazy yellowish with a tight foamy large head, fading moderately fast, leaving a fully coating thin lacing. Massive carbonation inside the glass. Aroma lightly hoppy, with a kiss of lemon/grapefruit citrus but mostly new mown hay. Flavor lightly grassy, light lemony notes, sweet citrus, almost wheat malts, and a very light palate, surprisingly smooth and lacking in carbonic bite despite the visual display of fizzing. Finish lacking in hops, with only a light lingering bitterness. A tad watery, perhaps not due to low final gravity but to a lack of hops and carbonation on the palate.

Poured a bright golden color with a small head and nice lacing. Lemon, spicy hop, pilsener aroma. Flavor begins malt, some straw in the middle with a bitter hop finish. Rather full mouthfeel. This was super drinkable and gone before I knew it. Thanks whaleman (secret santa)...

excellent pils. perfect mushroom swiss burger (from hardees, because i'm having that right now) companion. spicy pine, sweet bite. mild, good it lets the american food dominate. spicy bitter end. crisp and clean. good thanks to tannertaverboy.

Beautiful clear gold color, topped by a pale cream head. A wonderful spicy aroma to this beer, some saaz would be my guess. A wonderful spicy hop flavor, bitter in the finish, with a nice lightly sweet malt expression that carries through the whole way. Nice clean and crisp like a good pils should be. I am quite impressed with this beer.
