Silver Gulch Coldfoot Pilsner Lager

Brewed by Silver Gulch Brewing & Bottling Co.
Style: Pilsener
Fairbanks, Alaska USA

Taste is a very light malty brew that goes down very easy. Compared to most pilseners, this is a very balanced considering it may have a slight more punch. I could easily drink a sixer, very glad I threw out my underwear to jam this 6-pack in my suitcase.

Damp yeasty bread gives way to white bread, honey, and some light nuts and hay. Soft soft mouthfeel with plenty of lightly toasted malt notes. Finishes very solid with more light malts and some herbs/grass.

Not bad for a pilsner it had good color and was clear.. the taste was a little more hoppy than I would expected from a pilsner.. but hey thats me.... very smooth though a really enjoyable.

On tap at the 06 Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival. Clear gold beer with a rocky big white head. Light sweet nose. This is a very clean, crisp pilsener. It disappears on the palate leaving only faint hop tracks. Flavors of sublte lemon citrus and buscuit. Very easy drinking beer.

This was actually pretty tasty, and I wasn’t expecting much. It could have used more hops in the aroma and flavor, but it was surprisingly malty. It was still a full gold in color with a full, lasting head, but had a richer malt than the usual pils. Slightly grassy hop finish. Excellent, lager that actually satisfies.

12oz bottle, labeled "Coldfoot Pilsener", courtesy of lakersfan16 poured into a pint glass. Pours a clear straw yellow with a short lived collection of bubbles on the top that recede to nothing quickly and leave no lacing. Not the most appetizing beer honestly. The aroma is very mild and sweet with a buttery light malt sweetness dominating with a little bit of other light fruits and some grains as well. The taste has an initial toasted grain presence that gives way to the sweet light malts and fruit. The finish is clean and dry with only the faintest hint of hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy for the style with some soft carbonation. This is fairly sweet version of a pilsener and extremely drinkable.

Middle of the road pilsener. Nice foam and retention, smoother than expected and less hops in finish than expected. Lacks the crispness that I would expect. Average.

Bottle. Golden beer with an off-white head. Grass and light malt aroma. Malt and mineral flavor with a light sweetness. Medium bodied. Sweet malt lingers with grass, light spice, and light mineral notes.
