St. Sylvestre Du Moulin Pilsner

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

Bonne odeur de houblon. Belle couleur brumeuse. Bonne effervescence. Belle broue. Goût doux, aucun arrière-goût âcre.

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.

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.

Pours a clear pale gold color with a medium, white, fizzy head that diminishes to almost nothing. The aroma has a dominance of pilsner malts with mild hops and hay. In the mouth the beer feels cheap, a good measure of pilsner malt, hay and some hops but not enough. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. Feels like lots of other cheap lagers that pretend to be pilsners, boring.

Sampled at the Mondial, coming from a 500ml can, very pale yellow color, with an off-with head, fresh wet hay nose, with a faint floral hop, hint of vanilla, with a sweet pale malt aroma follows through on a light-bodied palate, with a crisp sweet pale malt, with a yeasty bubblegum character, with a flowery hop, with a staw accent, leading towards a sweet maltiness, faint floral bitterness finish.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity grainy aroma. Fruity malty grainy flavor with some grassy hints. Has a fruity malty grainy finish.

Canette 500ml. De couleur jaune pâle et claire. Nez de houblon herbeux (foin, léger herbe mouillée), de grains de malt pâle, léger de maïs ainsi qu’avec des traces métalliques. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de maïs sucré avec des petites notes de céréales parallèlement à une moyenne-légère amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux (foin et herbe mouillée) avec des petites notes florales, jusqu’en finale. Post-goût court et plutôt sec, moyen-léger amer de houblon herbeux avec de faibles traces métalliques.
