Pils
Indeed Brewing Company - Minneapolis

 

 

12oz can from the spring lager mixed pack

Cloudy look with fine sediment and sticky foam. Smells like lemon bread. Very easy drinking, equally malty and hoppy, with a crisp bite

Pours out of the can a crystal clear straw color with a finger of head with reasonable retention. Smells sweet and bready. Tastes like sweet malts, earthy, and bread. A complex beer with a lot more body than your average pilsner.

12oz taps at Mortimer's in MPLS, MN.
L: Pours a lightly yeast hazed straw light yellow w a 1/2" white head, good retention, light spotty lacing.
S: Lightly bready, gently earthy, very lightly floral, light grains.
T: Lightly sweet, pale, a bit bready, gently earthy, light yeast, sweet malts, very light citrus.
F: Crisp, dry, clean & simple.
O: An easy drinking and very good tasting American take on German Pilsner. It is excellent in its style.

Appearance: Pours a light, pale yellow/golden color with a relatively strong white head. SRM of 6. (4.25)

Aroma: Moderate aromas of flowers and citrus upfront including lime and lemon flower. Some yeast in the middle before a dry and slightly earthy-lime note. (4.00)

Flavor: Moderate (relatively strong) flavors of lime and lemon citrus flower upfront. This turns into a strong bready yeast and carbonation. Finish is slightly sweet. (4.00)

Feel: Medium-heavy bodied for the style. Moderate carbonation. Finishes with a sweet malt and lime citrus finish that lingers sweet on the palate. (3.50)

Compared to Schells No Frills Pils 4/10/22: Pours a similar color. Larger head. Stronger aromas. More lime and lemon citrus flower. Less dry grains. More sweet honey on the finish.

Compared to Fair State Pils 4/10/22: Pours a similar color. Larger head. Stronger aromas. More lime and lemon citrus flower. Less dry bready notes and bitterness. More sweet honey on the finish.

to Bahaus Wonderstuff 5/18/22: Pours a slightly lighter color. Milder aromas. More pale bread malts and yeast. Dryer and less lemony.

Overall: A pretty good German-style Pilsner head. Leaned slightly heavier and sweeter. It has a defining lime hop flavor with a smooth honey malt finish. Larger-bodied, but not a larger mouthfeel which makes it sweeter. Nice flavors. Drinks with the body of a Czech, but with an American(lime citrus)-German pilsner flavor. (Rating: 4.01)
(Compare next to Summit Dakota or Bahaus Wonderstuff)

Bright clear straw color with a white head that laces the glass beautifully. The nose has grass and cracker notes and more than a bit of lemony citrus, which all translate to the taste magnificently.

The mouthfeel is very crisp, perfect for the style and making this beer immensely crushable. Indeed rocks at an exceptionally high level.

Surprised I had not reviewed this beer yet. Maybe because I drink it so fast I don't have time to put it to words. Clear straw color with a dense head. Plenty of lacing left down the glass. Spicy Noble hop aroma with a hint of citrus along with dry crackers. Pretty traditional flavors other than a wisp of citrus from the Mandarina Bavaria hops. Dry, spicy, herbal, and clean. Nice level of bitterness. The water might be a little too soft however. I think a German pilsner should have a little mineral quality. Light body and airy carbonation makes this very easy to drink. No sweetness to hinder consumption.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a clear golden color with a white head. Smell was malt, grain and classic hops. Taste was crisp with noble hops a citrus flower taste with cracker malts/bread in the finish. Mouth feel was crisp and refreshing slight dryness in the end. Not a fan of Indeed brews this one i would have again.

Light, clear gold color with good white cap and lacing.

Aroma of rich malt and herbal, spicy hops.

Taste on entry has hops slightly ahead of the malt with a sharp, herbal spiciness that leads but does not cover the malt. Malt is bready, yeasty like fresh rolls, and the flavor is rather dry. Hops continue to the finish ending on a refreshingly bitter note. Complementary flavors that merge well together to make a complex whole.

Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

Altogether a class act and it's a class well worth attending.

Soft malt and a little grain on aroma with a fresh yeast bit and a small amount of sulfur.
Mostly clear and closer to yellow than gold. Dense small white head.
Nice blending of herbal hop flavors right away without losing the clean malt/grain taste. Hops flavor builds throughout the drink and moves to a smooth bitterness that linger with a soft and pleasant dryness. A little sweetness shows in time.
Not super crisp. More of a smooth lager feel.

Had on draught in Minneapolis. Pours with a 1/4” head that disappears quickly. Straw colored and clear - just as it should be. I detect a slight crackery pils malt scent when I smell this, but not much. Taste is a nice clean German lager up front with a slight sweetness that lingers on the palette. I’d prefer a slightly drier, crisper finish. That being said, this is a good, drinkable German lager. I would drink it again.

Pours a crystal clear straw yellow with a thick white head which leaves some lacing after it recedes. The aroma is bready and grassy. Flavor is noble hop forward with a sweet bread flavor, just a touch of bitterness on the finish. Feel is crisp and well carbonated. Over all a pretty good beer.
