Kaiser Pils
Pennsylvania Brewing Company

Pours a clear gold color. Light head. Tastes crisp and light. I would liken it to an upscale version of an average Pilsner. Definitely could drink a few of these out at a bar.

A excellent Pilsner beer. Clean, slightly hoppy, smooth. Just a really good beer. Very drinkable. I will be getting this again

1.5 x 12 0z Bottles
Bottle Date: --
Consumed: 04 June, 2022
Glass: 0.5L Pokal
Temp at Pour: 49.4 F


Look:
Clear straw to light-golden yellow. Initial 3-finger white pillowy head slowly dissolves to a rocky cover and then develops some holes. Heavy and excellent lacing.

Smell:
Light grainy bread dough with some lemon notes and a touch of honey. Hints of grass and some zest. A classic German/Central European aroma.

Taste:
Very much similar to the nose but with the zestiness and the lemon turned up a couple of notches. There is some pepper. A medium bitterness finishes off the sip and dries things out quite a bit, but not completely. While noticeable, the hops are balanced well by the pale malts, though the bitterness does slowly build with each sip.

Feel:
Crisp but smooth with a mostly dry finish. Well carbonated. Body shades to the heavier side of light … so medium-light.

Overall:
A very good take on a classic German Pilsner. The beer must have more malts than I expected, which leads to the balance and the not-quite-complete-dryness. Which is something that some of the German Pilsners seem to have, at least to my palette. Penn Brewing does German styles fairly well across the board, with this beer being no exception.

My favorite domestic Pilsner!
A classic representation of a true German Pilsner style beer.
A little haze to it, but the flavor profile is on point.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass with a pale clear gold color and quick disappearing white head, minimal lacing. Smells of bready lager malt and grassy Noble hops. Taste follows aroma with decent hop bitterness balanced with crackery malt. Medium to thin body with good carbonation and a crisp finish. Overall, a very good pils.

Had it fresh at the brewery. So much better than the average BA rating that is calculated mostly from the bottled version of unknown freshness. Nice pale malt character that is well balanced with the hops for a crisp flavor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12oz bottle into a pint glass. NO freshness dating.

clear very pale yellow body, enormous white fluffy head, thick generous lacing.

had to blow a hole in the head to get a nice hit of lager malts and yeast.

biting flavor, you can feel the hops, but the overall impression is pretty understated.

a little above thin on the mouth, slightly bitter on the finish.

overall, a decent enough beer. not a style I'm in love with, a but a nice enough quaff with tonight's curry.

 

Poured into a custom shaped glass: color is straw gold, head is bright white with fine bubbles presenting about 1/2 inch thick and lingering well with a top and deeper ring along the glass, some lacing on the glass.

Smell is bready, crackery, grassy hops thought subtle.

Taste is similar with bready, crackery flavor, some biscuit like taste, then some grassy hops and bitterness.

Mouthfeel is crisp, carbonated, a bit strong on the tongue.

Overall a very good pilsner, true to style with pleasant bready/biscuity qualities and moderate hoppiness.

 

DATE: September 4, 2016... OCCASION: Watching Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief with the family... GLASSWARE: Warsteiner pokal... a thick, crisp, pure white head tamps down and cakes to car wash soap suds... the body is beautiful clear, golden yellow with a steady stream of effervescence... a gentle, pliant aroma of Hallertau and soft cracker make for an alluring combination... a buttery, smooth, inviting body that has little effervescence or life... sippable, slammable, and 4.5% ABV, finished as fast as it began.... the taste profile is thin, with soft hops, flowery hints, refreshing though light... overall, not much to add other than this is a worthwhile sampler mate that fits well with all-day summer drinking... it definitely has its role...

 

 

 

 

Pours a light pale yellow color...
Smell is a grassy malt. Taste is mild and bitter but malty.
Not much hops. Dry and bitter.

Appearance: Pours a pale, clear gold color.

Overall: The aroma is a light refreshing hops. The taste is well balanced. It has a noticeable hop character, very nicely done, along with a leveling maltiness. Solid beer that is very crisp, clean, and refreshing.

 

 

 

Poured from a 12oz can into a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a light yellow color with a thin white head that fades slowly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains lager yeast, caramelized malts and a touch of hops.

T: The taste starts out very bready with flavors of lager yeast and a hearty malt character. Then some malt sweetness comes in. The hops presence is mild and brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and a little smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.

O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, it’s a decent beer but there are others in the style that I would choose first.

 

 

Pours a light yellow hazy color with very little head. Little to no lacing but plenty of carbonation. Initial taste is light, crisp and pleasant. Definately a nice summer brew

 

 

 

Odorless. Weak mouthfeel. Bland taste which is lacking the crispness of a pils.

Got this beer as one of my beer of the month club beers. Not a very pleasant taste.
