Star Child Pilsner
Revival Brewing Co.

One of my favorite new American Pilsners. It’s a combo of tradition and creative brewing: Bohemian style dry hopped with Mosaic.

Cloudy, light golden color.

Very fragrant, added fruit aroma- unlike in any other Pilsner I’ve tasted. Mosaic adds a special flavor.

Smooth MF- not too dry like other beers in the style. Very strong fruit taste. Not overshadowed by bitterness, or a dry crispness.

Excellent beer brewed to celebrate RI Pride.

 

 

Extremely drinkable pils. Perfect summer beer, great taste and aftertaste.

Missed this can in the back of my fridge and was hesitant to review based on the style and roughly a year old. But the beer pours clean and the aroma is solid so off we go!
Beer pours cold into a snifter and has been in my fridge since I got it roughly a year ago. Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy bleached white head of 3 cm foaming up and almost topping the edge of my glass. Several active streams of carbonation rise from the bottom to replenish the foam, but it still slowly recedes to a sturdy surface leaving large pockmarking craters as it settles.
The aroma is spot on for a pilsner. I get grainy malts and some grassy and spicy hops with a touch of lemon. Generally the nose is very clean and crisp, seems spot on.
First sip reveals a light and crisp textured body with fine and very tingly carbonation. Almost prickly on my palate and giving the body a little more character and depth.
Flavor is what the nose advertises with some grainy malt up front and a bit of spicy hop character. I get some lemon juice coming through and a bit of herbal tea hop that lingers on the finish.
Very clean and crisp brew that I enjoy. WIsh I had drank this can fresh, but it still passes muster at this date.

Good head production, with two fingers of snow white head sitting atop a pale lemon-yellow transparent body. Retention is a touch lacking. Body is lively.

Nose is crisp and clean, lightly floral, with pilsner malt coming through. Subtle hints of lemon, melon, and orange peel.

Flavor is a nice balance between fruity flavors - in particular, lemon and melon - and slightly earthy pilsner malt. The low IBU results in an overly sweet aspect to the beer, but just slightly.

Crisp and clean on the palate; very drinkable, very appropriate for the style.

No dating on the can, but as it was a limited beer for Pride month, it's around 2 - 2.5 months since brewing.

Pours an unfiltered pale straw in the glass with two fingers of fluffy white head. Nose of a clean farmhouse yeast; notes of hay, barley, florals, earthy herbal tea and a hint of spiciness. Taste follows the nose but brings in some hop notes; blackberry, slight pine and a hint of tangerine peel. Mouthfeel is a slightly sticky medium-light with some lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Incredibly easy drinking and perfect for the end of a hot summers day. I wish I could of picked up a can a bit closer to the brewing, I bet some fresh hops would of really added another notch to this one.
