Thomas Creek Dockside Pilsner

Brewed by Thomas Creek Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Greenville, South Carolina USA

Pours slightly cloudy yellow with no head only a ring of carbonation. Aroma is tart smelling and strange almost sour....interesting. Tastes like a sour beer with little to no outstanding flavors. Hops seem only to sour not bitter or flavor. Way too carbonated, something is way off on this one. I have to say this is the worst pilsener I’ve had to date.

Pours slightly cloudy golden with a thin, foamy off-white head. Aroma is lightly sweet malty, biscuity, and a little fruit, but where are the hops? Taste is lightly sweet, a bit grainy with crackers, but again. Where are the hops? Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lively over-carbonation. What a shame, this beer would have been pretty good with a generous helping of saaz.

To be fair, I wasn’t expecting much. South Carolina isn’t really a haven of the craft beer scene. Beautiful area, not so much from the beer. On to the beer! The aroma was slightly sour and some grain. Appearance was the usual yellow but with a touch of haze to it. Mouthfeel was sort of rough and astringent. Flavors were acidic, lemon, very lactic and tart. If it were a fruit beer, it might be on to something but this was pretty gross. I didn’t enjoy this beer at all. No thanks, never again (ok...well, maybe if it’s free).

Cloudy medium yellow with a nice head of white. Light hop aroma, a bit musty. Very light body. The hop and malt flavor is not bad but very watered down and thin. With a little more intensity, this would be some really good beer.

Off-the-mark pilsner. Good head, yellow with lace. barleywine aroma. Metallic and off tastes. fizzy, not well carbonated. Thin to medium mouthfeel. I will have to be convinced to try this brewery again. Not drinkable still thanks for picking up crwills.

12oz bottle via trade with SpringsLicker! - thanks Jay! - Pours a cloudy funky golden green color with a short offwhite head. Aroma is light grass over light grains. Flavor is sweet grains, a touch of corn and light grass on the finish. Very vegetal and not so good.. Palate not crisp enough for a pilsner either.. This one wasn’t too good.

Bottle. Sour apple vinegar aroma. Medium yellow with small head. A sweet-sour malt flavor with light hint of vinegar and a mild hops finish. Malt flavor lasts long after swallowing. Luckily tastes much better than it smells.

via trade with Decaturstevo - Pours a straw color with a light haze. Good size head with moderate carbonation. Light grassy, grainy aroma. Flavor is the same as the aroma but a little tart. Light body. Not much here. Thanks Steve.
