St. Sylvestre Du Moulin Pilsner

Brewed by St. Sylvestre
Style: Pilsener
St. Sylvestre-Cappel, France

500 mL can from Jovi, served cold in a tulip. Impulse buy.

App.: Light yellow-straw with a hint of a white head. Aroma: Pleasant-but-light pilsner: slightly peppery, grassy, green, herbaceous hops, light cereal/grain. Palate: Medium body, sparse, medium carbonation. Flav.: Much like the nose, a touch sweet with a hint of bitterness.

Meh, alright.

In short: Lame Macro-ish pilsner lacking on the hops
How: Can, 500ml, relatively fresh (I think)
The look: Clear yellow body with a long-lasting small white head.
In long: Faint skunk on the nose (and that’s coming from a can). Impassive pale malts with round/smooth lager yeast provide an ok body but not much in the way of flavours. Light hint of vanilla. Main problem is with the hops. The little that is there feels like those almost-synthetic hops approximation that macros use. This is a little above typical Macro beer but really not by much. Weird, the French butchering the German pride that is the Pilsner. Like if they still hold a grunge about something…

Can: Poured a bright golden color lager with a nice pure white bubbly head with minimum retention. Aroma of grainy malt with some light skunky notes and maybe even buttery malt notes. Taste is also dominated by skunky notes with some grainy malt. Body is about average with some average carbonation. Definitely something I won’t seek out again.

On can... Aroma:light malt,light citrus aroma... Appearance:yellow fizzy beer... Flavor:light malt flavor,light acrid flavor....

Canette. Couleur jaune très pâle, claire, mousse s’estompant vite pour laisser un mince lacet. Arôme assez fort de houblons floraux, d’herbe mouillée, légèrement sucré. Goût très sucré de grain, légère amertume florale. Corps mince effervescence moyenne. Bof.

Can Mondial. Corn and malt aroma, yellow, very small white head. Fair malt taste, some bitterness, sweet grainy, ordinary.

A very pale straw pils with a thick lacing white head. Anemic. Aroma is herbal and citrusy. In mouth, crisp and lightly sweet herbal malt, with a rather powdery light body. Overall, boring offering.

Can. Very pale with a white frothy head. Repulsive cheap aroma. Kind of watery. "Premium quality" it says on the can. Despite being a little dented, the can does appear to be decent quality. The contents, not so much.
