Mass Produced Lager: Pilsner
Wormtown Brewery

 

Thanks to rudzud, canned 5/21/20
Pours a large fizzy bubbly almost 2 finger head that fades semi quickly, lower retention, a touch of lacing, mostly clear touch of chill hazed golden pilsner color

Nose brings plenty of grainy sweet malt, a little doughy, some pilsner malt corn notes, hops light grassy floral, a little herbal, fairly light in general but decent

Taste brings more sweet grainy malt, a little doughy, cereal malt, fair malt in general with a touch of pilsner corn, hops bring some med bitterness with a little herbal floral flavor, getting a touch grassy, hops get a touch aggressive almost like a Czech pils but within range, a drier finish, lingering herbal hops getting a touch spicy, little mineral note

Mouth is med to a little lighter bod, med-higher foamy carb

Overall not bad, decent overall pilsner, hops get a touch aggressive but within range, malts are decent although a bit light, still decent

Picked up a four pack of this at the brewery today.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip nice just slightly hazy golden hue with a big fat two finger head that faded relatively quickly but did leave a quarter inch blanket. No lacing though.

S - Aromas of noble hops, grassy, little earthy and floral. I almost get lilac...which is pretty unique. I believe they used Loral hops in this one. Not getting any aggressive hop profile which is great seeing how my memory of previous Wormtown pilsners were weird mixes of a true to style beer and a new england pale ale.

T - Taste is similar to the nose, more of those noble hops and grassy notes. Big floral as well. I definitely get some American hops on the finish though. Not really bringing any fruitiness to the table or anything like that, just gives it a surprisingly bitter finish that lingers quite a bit.

M - Mouthfeel looked aggressive carbonated initially but after that billowed up to the head I was with a lightly carbonated, thinner bodied beer. Not as crisp as I would like to see with this style.

O - Overall this pilsner was decent enough. I liked everything up until the American hops came into the profile, as up until then it was quite pleasant. Still, it's not a bad beer, just not really what I'm looking for from a pilsner. A better mouthfeel could have probably helped out a lot though.

clear more golden yellow, little to no lacing, smell is nice spicy hops with some cracker malt notes. Taste is similar a touch on the sweet side. Overall a good pils and crushable on a hot summer day
