Game Of Thrones, Winter Is Coming: Ghost Visions Lager
Mikkeller ApS

 

 

really quality pils here, almost more of an italian type with all the hops, its light and dry and delicate but rather robustly hopped, and seems modern to me even though the varietals are noble. just the slightest haze to this, so pale and golden and shiny still, lovely inch of thick frothing white head from the tap, and fast paced carbonation. the hops smell spicy, grassy, earthen, and bitter, the malt is exceedingly fresh and very simple, crackery and basic and just a little bit european to me, and the lager yeast has a mild presence here, less robust than most german or czech types but not irrelevant either, seems delicate except for the hops. awesome balance in the taste, the malt hits first, more flavorful than it smells, so dry though, and organic and fresh to me, some minerals to it, and real clean. the yeast is the middle, crisping and also slightly doughy, seems quite patiently lagered, last come the hops, which really start a little limey and oily but quickly move to brisk and bitter, layers of culinary herbs, green tea, and mowed lawn all in play, lingering bitter bite approaching india pale lager status really, but the beer remains light overall, great texture to this, and high drinkability. a cool and interesting contemporary lager here, i could have drank ten of these! surprised it doesnt have higher ratings on here...

 

 

Clear yellow with plenty of foam in the wine-style glass. Sudsy and spritzy mouthfeel with some malty body. Bready aroma with a touch of lemon. There is an interesting woody note. Something like berries with cereal.

Overall this is quite decent, if overpriced. The fruity aroma lasts to the aftertaste along with bitterness that is in keeping with modern American Pilsners. From the 16 oz can purchased at the beer store. Canned date is illegible.

Can date smudged
Pours a frothy foamy almost 2 finger head, moderate retention, frothy lacing, crystal clear golden pilsner color

Nose grainy sweet pilsner malt, straw, bread dough, a bit of sulfate and minerals from the water likely, fruity notes, grassy floral noble hops

Taste more grainy sweet cereal pilsner malt, straw, bready and a bit doughy, fair herbal floral grassy noble hops with med bitterness, soft crisp lager, dry crisp finish med higher spicy hop bitterness, sulfate crispness and touch of mineral salty flavor

Mouth is med bod, soft lager, fruity high carb

Overall very good pilsner

This one pours a clear golden yellow color, with a big fluffy head, and lots of lacing.

This smells moderately floral, with some sweetness - it's not a super evocative aroma here.

This is crisp and clean, but just a little bit boring - it feels like maybe it was hastily thrown together for the marketing aspect of it. It's definitely drinkable, and mostly without flaws, it's just unremarkable.

This is light bodied, pretty drinkable, and mostly clean.

This is more of a label than a good beer, though I didn't really hate it or anything.

Too dry on the finish….not a ton of flavor for this style.

 

it's a ok beer if you don't have any thing else but nothing special

 

A: The beer is clear light yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly died down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of floral and spicy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of herbal hops. There is a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This pilsner is very easy to drink. I enjoyed the clean mouthfeel and the aromas and flavors of German hop varieties.
