Washington Gold Pils
Aslan Brewing Company

12 oz can

Pours clear golden, sudsy white head dissipates to a lacing.

Aroma is of sweet corn and cereal grains. Coppery undertone.

Flavor is of corn and cereal malts. Mild dry hop finish.

Light to medium body, light carbonation.

Pretty decent macro-style lager. Flavor is very sweet. Dry finish. A tad heavy but worth trying.

Light straw color; just a bit of carbonation; fair head, white and frothy with some foam clinging to the glass. Beautiful toasted malt scent; a bit herbal. Brings a warm, toasty taste to the palate; well-balanced hop bitterness; a note of mineral character. Medium body; smooth yet warm; semi-dry mouthfeel.

This beer brings some fine pilsner quality to the beer glass. Balanced and flavorful and easy drinking. Good stuff...

Worked in the yard all day, took a shower, then downed a couple of these. Just what I was looking for. Very enjoyable Pils on a hot summer day.

 

Nice easy drinking pilsner. Light, refreshing for a hot day session beer.

Generally not a pils drinker, but this flavorful can stands out to me.

Nice combination of old and new world hops rounds out a crisp finish with a little bit of stone fruit.

5/5 would drink again.

12oz can poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear, bright, gold color with 3/4 inch of white head that had low-moderate retention and almost no lacing.

The aroma was a solid, yet basic, example of the style; lots of grainy malts up front with gentle floral hops in the background.

Similar on the tongue, nice grains and gentle hops.

The body was light and crisp, and had an extremely dry finish. The carbonation held up well throughout the glass.

Drinkability was very nice, one could easily drink several of these.

Overall, a pretty nice brew. Worth trying if you see it.

Incredibly crisp and clear the body is very light. Pale yellow with a nice fizzy white head that starts at about a finger and slowly works its way down. Beautiful example of the style. Some lacing, but not much.

Nose is light with pilsner malts and light grassy hops. Maybe a hint of floral. Very light all around though.

Flavour comes in earthy and grainy. The malts are definitely on the grainy side of things and there's a weird little blip about two thirds of the way through that I can't quite put my finger on. Hops are grassy and there's definitely a floral sweet note peeking in at the back end which is kind of nice. Decent dull earthy bitterness to the finish as well.

The first can I had I thought was way aggressive on the carbonation, but this second can doesn't give nearly so much of that impression. Certainly some zest from the bubbles, but it feels appropriate and fades into the larger picture appropriately. Thinner body and it's a little bit stickier on the finish than I'd have guessed, but all within bounds.

Overall it's a refreshing pils that will probably really hit the spot on a hot afternoon. It's not ground breaking or anything to write home about, but it's certainly flavourful and enjoyable.
I feel like it deserves a slightly higher rating than I've given it (not hugely higher, but a little bit.) but I don't feel that any individual ratings warrant adjustment. That happens sometimes.

 

Poured into a pilsner glass. Pours a light to medium golden amber with a quarter finger white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of slightly sweet and bready pilsner malt and grassy hops. Flavor is grainy biscuit malt, mild mixed apple family fruit, grassy hops. Medium bodied with light creaminess. Combines the classic pilsner biscuit malt and dry grassy hops with just a touch of fruit sweetness that is reminiscent of a golden ale. I kind of like the combination, the touch of fruit counters the graininess of the malt in nice way. Easy drinking light pilsner.
