Hirter Privat Pils
Brauerei Hirt GmbH

 

Very mild even for a German pilsner, you would not be far off-base by calling it a helles. And that's just fine with me.

 

 

500mL can from Derek
L: pale golden body, foamy white head
S: biscuity Pilsner malt, dough, grassy hops
T: doughy & biscuity grain, a bit tangy, grassy & herbal hops
F: lighter body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter and semi-clean finish
O: definitely a drinkable German Pilsner, but there are better options

 

Poured transparent golden straw color with a proud two inch white head.
The taste is a milder version of a good German Pilsner. Mild hops, mild malt mild floral notes, mild spices. But to their credit they got all the genre requirements. Just mellower.
The feel is also good, albeit mild.
Or maybe I just have Pilsner fatigue. This is my fourth today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canned 1/28/22; drank 5/12/22 @ the Yarchives.

See-through pale yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big off-white head; strong, frothy lace.

Bread, fresh corn & faint pine notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Bread, corn & dry wheat flavors. Nice!

 

I only recently found this beer and it has become one of my all-time favorites. The taste is one of an authentic German or Austrian high quality pilsner. It reminds me of the EKU28 as well as the best-beer-in-the-world (for me), Samiclaus (although not quite up to the Samiclaus level). I'm hoping that I can find it again.

 

L- Mid gold, clear, pours with 1cm white head, plus some gentle rising CO2. Retains well, and leaves lacing down the sides of the glass.
S- Typical grainy pilsener.
T- Oh, more to it than expected. Some hoppy front, into a richer and deeper than expected finish.
F- I like it. Pilsener to me (at least German ones IME) are well hopped and thus dry, though a few stand-outs muster a deeper character. This seems to have a more enjoyable and broader flavour profile. It comes over to me as being higher ABV than 5.2%, which is unexpected, if I blind tasted it and was told this was say 6.0% I'd likely agree.
O- If I consider pilsener as generally a beer for summer, this one with a balancing body would seem more versatile. I do not note anything here out of place or balance.

I like it. It's not THAT memorable that I'd specifically keep an eye out for it in future but I'd certainly drink it again. I haven't read any other reviews below yet ('so as to keep my thoughts pure' ;)) but I'm quite surprised that it has only merited 3.27/Okay so far.
500ml. Bought in the UK from BeersOfEurope. BB: 16/06/2019.

Had on tap at Tricycle in Chicago.
Super crisp fairly clean golden with a white head. A little cracker. Pretty easy to drink. Style is true for the most part. Couldn’t find any flaws really. Good beer
