Light in body with the beautiful golden straw color that is a hallmark of the genre, Pontchartrain Pilsner's thoughtfully crafted blend of German Northern Brewer, Hallertauer Perle and Spalter hops imbue it with a wonderful mellow aroma, complemented by a smooth, lightly hopped finish.

Got one on tap at Blind Pelican, NOLA, 25/XII/2017.
Nothing special. Quite sour at first and then turned bitter from the hops. Just a normal hoppy pilsner, nothing special.

Pours a clear, gold color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Slight retention and decent lacing. Smells of pale malt, slight sweet malt, hint of wheat, hint of hops, and some distinct herbal/grassy aroma. Fits the style of a German Pilsner. Mouth feel is sharp and clean, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of pale malt, slight sweet malt, hint of wheat, hint of hops, and some distinct herbal/grassy aroma. Overall, weaker appearance, good aroma, blend, and feel, but the herbal/grassy flavor dominates.

Decent. Needs more carbonation. Nice relaxing flavor.

Pours a clear deep straw producing 1.5 fingers of white, shortlived head leaving little lacing. Aroma is pale & cracker malt, some grain; hop profile is floral, lemon & faint grass. Taste is pale & cracker malt, white bread, with crisp, clean grain, some honey & more intense hop notes bittering in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium-high carbonation, crisp & clean, finishing with a peppery bite across the tongue.
