Pils
Daredevil Brewing Co

Ok Pilsner, had on tap. Pale, clear, dayglo yellow color with white lacing. Taste is bready malt, salt, crisp water, soap, floral hops, skunked aftertaste.

 

Hooray for @jkblr who sent me this CAN & others to not only further The CANQuest (tm), but to give me something to do on New Beer Sunday (Week 715)!

From the CAN: "Authentic*Traditional*Lager"; "This German-style pilsner provides the flavor and aroma of German malt and hops with a clean, crisp finish. Prost!"; "Brewing eclectic, aggressively fun beers is not for the timid. Fortunately, the only thing we like better than a challenge is drinking the end result."

Ah, nothing like Pils to start the day. I Crack!ed open the vent & beCAN a slow, gentle Glug into my awaiting schooner glass. I live across from Otterbein United Methodist Church and they hold an Attic Treasures rummage sale on the 2nd Saturday of every month. I have scored a LOT of glassware over there over the years & this was one of them. My Glug initially produced two fingers of foamy, soapy, bone-white head, but it was quickly fading, so I gave it a top-up that produced another finger's worth, this time with good retention. Color was Straw-Yellow (SRM = > 2, < 4) with NE-quality clarity. Nose smelled yummy - cooling freshly-baked bread on the windowsill while newly-mown grass & hay wafted by on the breeze. It was like summer at my maternal grandparents' house! All that I needed was a stack of comic books & I would be all set. 8=) Mouthfeel was a bit thin, kinda watery, but it is hard to dun a Lager-style beer for a lack of body. You could do so, but I would challenge you as to rating to preference & NOT to Style. The taste was nice, but not as pronounced as on the nose. I was still getting the bready malt & the grassy, hay-like Saaz hops, but it did not have the intensity that I caught on the nose. Finish was semi-sweet with a honey-like flavor beginning to kick in at the end. It was nice, but we have so many PA-made examples that this was like sending coal to New Castle. I'm sticking with Stoudt's Pils and Victory's Prima Pils, but pass the pretzels!

Poured into a taster. This poured with great clarity and had a sweetness to the smell and taste along with a corn presence. Really balanced on the take of the style and not too hoppy.

 

Look: This beer pours a very light lager that pours a small white head that dissipates quickly with some residual lacing.
Smell: Very bready in nature, very true to form.
Taste: a solid pilsner with a bready flavor that mirrors the smell with a very noble a classic flavor
feel: A very light and refreshing flavor. Very easy to throw back. A good lawnmower beer but a lot more flavorful and complex than an American adjunct lager. Having learned to love the Helles biers of Munich this is a great beer. If you like a good Pilsner you will like this. It tastes exactly how you think it should.
