Whitstable Bohemian Lager / Pilsner

Brewed by Whitstable
Style: Pale Lager
Maidstone, England

A Mes rate: bottle from God knows where.
A lovely clean gold colour with a thin white head and superb condition. Creamy and sherberty hoppage in the aroma with some gorgeous strawberry notes, plenty of tobacco and lemon. Really drinkable stuff. Slight card is expected but there is a decent amount of hops here. Quite dry and tarty. Some decent background malt. A decent bottled UK pils.

Deep golden colour, good carbonation to medium, white head. Toasted & herbal nose; toasted malts mainly, and (grilled?) artichoke, and a whiff of rancid fat or maize (=fatty acids?). Dry, malty taste, less toasted than the nose. There remains, however, a hint of racked corn flavour, maizeshoots-oil, that sits uneasy on something that is supposed to be Bohemian-style Pilsner. Retronasal I get some pineappleester. Light to medium bodied, slightly oily MF, leaving a sticky deposite on the old mucoses (as Bertie Wooster would have said). One question defies all other concerning this "Pilsner": IS it a Pils? What kind of yeast was used upon these Saaz-hopped worts?

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with a rough white head. Discreet aroma with a whiff of sweet malts. Medium body, heavy carbonation, weird bonbon-like accents and some exotic fruits. Dry and lightly sulphurous finish. Not unpleasant but very far from a Pilsener. 190209

Bottled at Bishop’s Arms, Helsingborg. Hazy golden coloured. Fruity aroma. Very fruity flavour with yeasty notes. Rather sweet and slightly dusty. It does not taste of Czech pilsener at all. You can taste that it is brewed on an ale plant.

clear yellow,thick white head. aroma is faint, mild, a bit buttery, citrussy. flavor is quite sweet, end a little bitter, reasonable pilsener like flavor, but for me a bit too sweet. sweetness is kinda strange, resembles honey more than sugar. corn?

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Egg aroma, light cornish note. Dry and bitter to slight spiced hoppy flavoured. Subdued malt note. Unusual bohemian given the UK hops profile - I got no what so ever Saaz from this.
