Pin-Head Pilsner
Gaslight Brewery & Restaurant

Pours deep golden yellow with a two-finger head that slowly becomes a thin cover. The carbonated bubbles that are usual for style are hardly noticeable.

The smell is of sweet malt at first. Floral notes and some fruitiness soon follow. There is something wheat-like? (Maybe...)

The taste is of honey sweetness with bitter, floral notes. Some graininess, though not quite as much as expected for the style. Dry finish.

Too much honey sweetness and too thick for style, IMO. Not quite as crisp as I would like in the style, too.

It's not bad, but not sure it hits the head on the style, and is not something that excited me.

They had a funny little "pinhead" tap marker for this at the bar, took it home in a growler for reviewing purposes.

Appearance-golden brown appearance, minimal head but the clarity is good and there are a lot of nuances surrounding the appearance

Smell-floral hop aroma is there in large doses, some minimal spice aroma follows it up.

Taste-crisp and upfront flavoring, light on the palette but some malt comes out with a rather floral astrigency, spiced hop is in there as well, finishes slightly bitter and dry.

Mouthfeel-very easy to coax down, flavorful and solid, if uninspired compared to some of their other creations.

Drinkability-I would definitely have another as this is an easy style of beer to drink, my friends who go with me to Gaslight love this beer, it is indeed a fine session drink.

Overall-this is another fine offering from Gaslight who continue to nail styles down perfectly with each brew, I don't think this is as good or complex as some of their other offerings but it is very drinkable and we must indeed also look at the style as BA says to. And in that court this does extremly well, a good session beer and also a good way to turn your not so informed friends onto craft brewing.
