Pick Six Pilsner
Pizza Port Solana Beach

 

Big clarity yellow kind of pour, its got Big Beer levels of professional clarity to it, 3/4" white head, pristine white. The aroma is a light grain, hay, grass kind of meld of the lager yeast and pilsner malt. Interestingly enough, this is about the least hoppy Pizza Port beer I've ever come across. I think I assumed this would be hella hoppy, but no.

Taste is fine, its an interesting yeast, doesn't seem Euro centric at all. The hops taste like they are Saaz, maybe some East Kent Golding and/or Hallertau. Shit what do I know, maybe there is even some Cascade here. I'm fairly confident nothing proprietary was used. Just a straw tea, carbolic and metallic kind of taste to it.

Didn't seem like this was all that popular, popped up and hasn't really been seen since the same year it debuted I believe. It was serviceable, but somewhat a victim of Pizza Port's own (hoppy) success and this didn't fit into that mold.

 

 

 

Clear, very pale yellow with good effervescence and a dense white head that settles into a cap and leaves moderate lacing.

Classic pils aroma with some biscuity malt and lightly floral hops. Slightly sweet and a little skunky-- just like I like it.

Refreshing taste, with sweet biscuit malts, some lightly floral, spicy hops and moderate bitterness. Some distant lemon. Clean aftertaste, and a soft, crisp feel with decent carbonation.

Sort of straddles what I expect from a Czech and German pils, but tastes great either way. Could see putting back a bunch of these at a ballgame or BBQ. Canned on 2/21/17.

A perfectly respectable pilsner, not necessarily teeming with malt character, but enough to suffice, and pleasantly paired with a nice oomph of lemony, herbal, almost oily Saaz hops. It's crisp, it's clean, and it's 100% the sort of thing you could imagine guzzling down during a day at the Del Mar track. To me, no brewery captures the terroir of San Diego/Southern California like Pizza Port, and that's absolutely true with Pick Six.

Nice golden straw look... I can smell straw in the nose. This brew is true to the Czech style with a punch of Saaz hops on the front end and a crisp refreshing finish. A great alternative to the Macro pilsners out there.

 

 

 

 

Cloudy pale straw on the pour with foam that dissipated quick. Sweetness of malt and hints of citrus peel on the nose. Light to Medium bodied, grainy and bitterness on palate. Overall, not really a czech pilsner style but enjoyable a over summer breeze.
