St. George Pilsner

Brewed by St. George Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Hampton, Virginia USA

Bottle. No head at all and what was there died almost instantly. Almost no aroma at all, I really can’t smell anything. Very carbonated and dry. Not too much in the way of flavor either, wasn’t bad though. Can’t say I’m impressed.

Golden color with tons of carbonation. Smell of hop, some wheat and honey. Taste of malt and hops. Dry biterness at the end. Very carbonated. Not that good of a beer here.

A light golden brew with small diminishing foamy white head. Aroma is fruity, pear. Smells lightly hoppy, medium body, flavor finishes clean with a smooth aftertaste.

Cloudy gold with a smaller white head. A bit of grassy, peppery hops. Malt lacks the dryness of a true pilsner.

12oz. bottle. Aroma is primarily grassy and hoppy, along with some hay-like and lightly floral notes, peppery spice and crackery malts detected in the background. Medium-dark golden color, lightly hazy, with a fine, lasting, off-white head. Flavor is predominantly hoppy with many different hop characteristics noticeable at one point or another, at turns spicy, herbal, green, leafy, grassy, peppery, citric and flowery, not to mention the bitterness that is present throughout. Malts are present here in a light, grainy manner, faintly biscuity and dry. Finish is quite crisp and clean. As it warms, a certain malty sweetness lingers very late. Mouthfeel is lightly acidic and fairly refreshing, body is light-medium. Certainly a better than average pilsner, mostly due to the balance towards the hoppy side of the equation.

Deep golden into the glass, with a medium head and nice sudsy lacing. I get some hops and grapefruit initially to the nose.... this trails away as the beer warms into a sweeter grain bouquet. Crisp and clean with a light body, the flavors are are extremely well-hopped, although a bit unilateral, with some pale malt hints and maybe an aura of citrus throughout the pull. The finish is again crisp and bitter, lingering medium pepper. Nice example of a pils.... honestly, this style isn’t my favorite, but I do enjoy this brew and appreciate the offering.

Sweet grain and mild but distinct aroma, no head to speak of of, light german malt and hop balance, mild bitterness in aftertaste, certainly enough taste to distinguish it from an American lager,didn’t have that crispness a pilsner should have. Thanks Kingpin

From bottle. Pours a deep yellow with no head. Nose is lightly sweet with a hint of lemon. Flavor follows with a crisp finish. One of the better pilseners I’ve had.
