U-19 German Pilsner
Celtic Bayou

Appearance – This Pils poured a deep, thick yellow in color with a light orangish tint and a nice, white head.

Smell – The light lagered grain is very pleasant at the nose. It’s smooth and goes well with the fine European hopping.

Taste – This grain is terrific! It is so smooth yet complex. It’s very meaty without being overbearing; more like ripping grain off a husk than drinking it in a Pils glass. The hops are very light and just do offer a satisfactory compliment.

Mouthfeel – This is almost medium-bodied in the mouth but not quite. The carbonation is solid and the beer itself is very refreshing.

Drinkability – This has a good, bold flavor and is very complex. They have a lot of spicy foods here at the Celtic Bayou and this goes with just about everything on the menu.

Sampled in a 10oz Schooner at the Celtic Bayou Bar.

Beer pours medium gold with a medium haze and a light white head with crisp bubbles.

Aroma is of soft buttered sweet corn with a touch of field berries in the finishing notes.

The beer is big and hoppy with a honeyed malt and a slight sense of corn. Finish is both hoppy and acidly sour.

(at brewpub) Dark/rich gold in color with a lacy white head. One of those pilsners that restores your faith in the style. Light-moderate bitterness with a good malt sweetness. Like a lot of their beers, it is very well balanced.
