Classic Pilsner
Blackrocks Brewery

 

 

Exceptional in all areas

 

 

"The finest German malt, American hops and Lake Superior water collide to create our take on the worlds most popular Style. As crisp and refreshing as the Great lakes, this beer is a nod to European tradition with a distinct American disobedience. Prost, Eh!"
30 IBU's, 5.5% ABV.

Pours out to a crystal clear medium golden, forming a nice white head with very good retention and solid sheets of lacing. 12oz can. Nose is quite nice, clean ferment with just a hint of sulfur, perfumy floral hops and freshly mown hay. Mouthfeel is crisp, clean, medium bodied, very easy to drink. Medium carb, ~2.5 carbs or so. Bright acidity. The taste is quite nice. A little grassy, perfumy, lemon pith, table cracker, light but well balanced bitterness. No off flavors, or aromas.

Very nicely done local pils. Would recommend. A nice example of the style without any faults.

 

An excellent and always enjoyable Pilsner. Smooth with an excellent balance of sweet malts and spicy hops. Flavor and texture is slightly on the larger side. Very well crafted.

 

 

 

 

Crystal clear golden lager with good head production and OK retention. Very lively.

Clean, sweet, slightly grassy and earthy nose. A touch of pepper.

Very clean on the palate, with little of the overdone earthy sweetness that ruins many a pilsner. Still focused on pils malt, with a slightly earthy, honeyed sweetness, and very lightly bitter with grassy hops. Slight peppery spice.

Clean and smooth on the palate, a touch oily.

 

12oz can served into a willi becher glass. Pours a clear golden yellow body, one finger thick white head, fair retention, not much lacing, thin collar. Smell is bready, floral and a touch of lemon, with mineral. Classic dough and floral notes. Flavour is a clean bready malt with a touch of sweeter biscuit, light floral notes, even a touch of citrus. Clean and flavourful pilsner, no off-flavours, really quite nice. Mouthfeel is medium-lighter bodied, good carbonation, ridiculously flavourful with a nice mildly floral finish that imparts a mild lingering bitterness. Very clean, crisp and supremely drinkable pilsner. Enjoyed this a lot.
