This is a fine stab at a lightish pils. Pretty much toes the line except I detect an unusual presence in the middle of the sip. Kind of like a mineral/corn flavor in the malt backbone. It's not unpleasant per se, just different than most which is always worth it when it really works. In this case, the anomaly detracts from the pils experience a tiny bit. Purchased a sixer of pint cans and will happily finish them, but will likely not purchase again

Part of a mixed twelve pack, three cans. Best by date on can: 02/23/24 -- almost a month past it's prime. Strangely the other beers in this pack seem to be fresher.

Pours a crystal clear golden copper in color with a finger thick foamy white head with weak retention and a bit of lacing on the glass as you drink. Carbonation looks average with medium sized bubbles rising up. Pretty standard look for the style.

Sweet, light malts, a touch of breadiness, lemon and a decent amount of floralness on the nose. Maybe a touch of sourness. A little bit more noble hop fruitiness notes coming through as it warms.

Taste follows the aroma well. There is a lightly roasted breadiness throughout, a lot of lemon, a touch of grass, floral spice on the swallow. Lingering bitterness after the swallow, mostly lemon rind, maybe some citrus pith. It's a bit boring, kind of flat on the palate.

Pretty light mouthfeel, a bit thin with ample zestiness. Crisp and clean. Might be the mineral content of the water used, but it does feel a bit seltzery, which I am not a fan of. It is quite drinkable and refreshing, otherwise.

I wonder if the freshness had anything to do with it, but I found this one a bit boring. It's certainly not bad, but I've had many better pilsners. Probably the worst offering I've had from this brewery so far. Would drink it if offered but wouldn't seek it out myself. Prost!

 

On tap at Fattey Beer Co in Rochester, NY.

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

This smells like cereal grain, spicy hops, breadiness, and lemon.

I kind of always forget that Peak exists still, and I was certainly happy to see something from them on a local taplist. This is clean and very crisp. It’s not quite with the punchy bite I want most out of the style, but it’s well balanced and with no overt flaws.

This is light bodied, crisp, clean, with a great drinkability.

This was very enjoyable, and certainly gets the job done.

 

mild pilsner beer refreshing but nothing special

 

Very clear,light gold/yellow appearance.
Carbonation is medium but quickly dissipates into medium light. Body is around medium.
Aroma is malt, cereal, grain,slightly floral and earthy.
Tqste for the most part follows the aroma, slight bitter finish that lingers.
Overall its a really straight up attempt at the style and I found it to be successful.

Crisp, clean tasting pilsner. Definitely one I can drink all day.
