Had on tap. Clear yellow pour with visible carbonation, white head with great retention, mild but consistent lacing. The botanicals with dry yeast star in the smell with floral hops tones. Taste has great citrus zest but floral hops are faint with grass and general botanicals being stronger, sight straw too. Soft, dry, and high carb create a wonderful mouthfeel. Not the most complex, but well made.

 

Pours yellow with a clear transparency. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is dry, with cracker and wafer malt notes layering over and between herbal and grass hops. Flavor profile brings that same dryness, with crackers, wafers, and bread malts carrying herbal and grass hops. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a soft, expansive effervescence. Overall, refreshing and bread forward. It hits notes out front sharply, but doesn't have the same clean release at the end.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

Notes: Surprisingly clear straw gold body for being a kellerpils. Full head of white foam. Very good head retention and lacing. Clean, bright aroma of Pilsner malt and spicy & herbal Saaz hops. The flavor follows. It's sweetish and smooth with just a stiff bitterness to balance it. Tasty and refreshing - an excellent representation of the style; one of the best I've had.

 

Beautiful, semi-cloudy straw yellow body; plenty of lively carbonation rising; head is thick, dense, and rocky. Excellent subtle nose; very mild malt note overlayed with some delicate esters and floral notes. Balanced and nuanced flavors; very light cracker; slightly yeasty; great hop bitterness, low-key. Light body; soft, nearly pillowy; semi-dry mouthfeel.

This offering is perfect for anyone looking for a light tasting yet flavorful lager. Excellent balance and depth for the style. It does not disappoint.

 

 

Presentation: 32 oz. crowler with a freshness indicator stating: "You're an asshole if you drink it five days after: [Date]" on the label. Served in a stemmed stange.

Appearance: The loose, one and a half finger head goes away pretty quickly and leaves behind some thick patchy lacing. It's a pretty clear, pale gold color.

Smell: It's a faint but pleasant floral and slightly herbal scent. There are also some grain and fresh bread aromas at the end.

Taste: It's sweet, grainy and bready with some malt and hay on the palate followed by bright, flowery hop notes in the finish.

Mouthfeel: It's light, slightly creamy, extremely smooth and very refreshing.

Overall: An excellent pilsner with a lot of character but it remains refreshing and easy to drink.

 

 

 

 

Definitely the best Pilsner I’ve ever had. Smell is sweet, but almost has a slight Brett smell to it. Wouldn’t surprise me with all of the sours being brewed around here. Taste is super subtle, dry crackers, wheat bread, yeast sweetness. Mouthfeel is creamy. Good Pilsner.
