801 Small Batch Pilsner
Uinta Brewing Company

On tap at Unita Tap Room. The head brewer was there celebrating this beers 1st place win in the German style Pilsener category at the World Beer Cup the day before. I had to try it. The look is clear and clean. It’s light and refreshing which was a perfect pairing to the Uinta burger I enjoyed.

Draft in SLC. Clear golden pour, thin skin of white head. Biscuity aroma, bready. Taste brings a hops bite, forgetting all about the malt bill. Bitterness up front, faint grainy notes in the background.

 

 

Clear gold with a white muffin top head leaving wavy lacing.

A pristinely clean expression with no off-notes includes mild toasted corns and a touch of biting florality.

The medium but ultra fluffy body finishes just dry, exhaling what comes across as wild herbs.

Drinking this at one of my favorite tap rooms, Tapped Craft and Drafts in Greenville NC.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass
Looks clear, golden yellow with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap.
Smells lightly bready, floral, spicy sweet, lemony
Taste follows the nose nicely.
Mouth feel is medium light for the style.
Overall a very nice example of a Pilsener with enough hop spiciness to keep my interest.
I would definitely order again.
Cheers!

 

 

this is fine, a little yellow beery, but crisp and simple, light enough to drink a bunch of, not overly well refined but pretty clean, and with enough european character from the grain and the yeast for it to work as a pils type, we will have no trouble polishing off the twelve pack of cans. more of a warm weather drink than some of these because of how light it is overall. the crispness is important in a beer link this, and this is nice and dry and snappy to close, with just a little bit of hop bitterness factoring in late, and maybe a touch of soapiness. its simple beer, just a touch cheap tasting to me, but not metallic or anything, and its well enough done to just sort of be a mindless slammer without really demanding to be considered too seriously. i had these in a variety of relaxing contexts this past weekend, but my favorite was sneaking onto a golf course and playing a few holes in the afternoon sun with one of these in hand the whole time, a great beer for that sort of thing. this is not what these guys do best, but they have done this well enough...

Medium head, EXCELLENT medium golden color
Smell is hoppy with bready malt, awesome smell for this type of pils
I regret not trying this this long, the taste is light yet hoppy with a perfectly agreeable malt
Awesome brew

pours pretty cloudy for a pilsner. golden yellow. it does have an excellent chalk white, fluffy head with great lacing and retention. enough to pump it up to 3.25. (would be below 3 if not for the excellent head)
nose is bready, biscut malt. light floral, grassy hops.
taste follows. bready biscut malt up front followed by a subtle floral, grassy hop character.
clean, crisp body.
to be fair, im pretty sure the beer is at least a year old....so certainly not optimal freshness ;)
overall, not a bad pilsner.

This pours with a very classic light golden pilsner look, highly transparent, and with a small-to-medium head that doesn't totally fade. On the nose there's a little bit of pilsner sourness with a grassy lemon aroma. The grassy lemon comes through on the taste, and luckily the sourness does not. There's some bite to it that helps to round out the flavor and mask the thin-ness of the body. The mouthfeel is a little bit on the sticky side. Overall it's a pretty well-crafted pilsner - light enough to appeal to more casual drinkers, but with enough bite and heft to be drinkable for others.

I just bumped this score up as it has grown on me as one of the better local pilsner options. Like any good pilsner, this is a solid all-around beer that is highly drinkable, good in just about any situation, and won't repulse anybody at a party.
