Pastaria Pils
Urban Chestnut Brewing Company - Midtown Brewery & Biergarten

 

Aroma is very husky/grainy/slightly earthy malts. Appearance has a good amount of foam and the flavor is fruit/light citrus and a mix of slightly sweet grainy malts and a good dry hop bite in the finish.

Gold in color with excellent clarity. Moderate, soapy lacing is present. There’s a half inch of frothy off white on top. The aroma is of a saltine cracker and that well water phenolic yeast. I’m tasting distinctive saltine cracker and the well water phenolic yeast. The mouth is light and crisp.

 

 

From an aluminum can, this beer is a pale gold color with a white head and a bit of haze. Spicy hop aroma with some grass scents underneath. Fresh-scents. The taste is clean, straightforward, and crisp. I expected a sweeter version for an 'Italian Pils', but this is a nice brew. It would go well with a rich pasta dish, maybe like a carbonara.

On tap at City Foundry STL. Poured a clear, straw-yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of grasses, citrus and toasted bread. Sweet caramel and toffee taste with a mild bitterness.

Had on tap. Cloudy bright yellow pour with a finger of white foam, trace lacing all over the glass. With the hops leading this actually comes across very fruity for style, citrus especially, with mildy bready yeast supporting. This is more true in the nose, taste some pale malt comes in. Feel is pale and yeast, not very bitter per se but the hop shaping is there in a rising sense. A more mellow italian pils that doesn't lack on flavor
