Fresh Pils of Bel Air
New Glory Craft Brewery

 

 

 

The beer pours out a cloudy medium dark golden color, with a thin white head-------------- the aromas are of sweet malt, grass, lager yeast and bread dough--------------- the flavors are of grass, sweet malt and crackers, the beer has a medium mouthfeel with no bitterness at all---------------- overall this in a easy drinking pilsner that is light and refreshing, great for them hot summer days-

Terrific new pilsner from New Glory. Mostly clear gold with a nice head that left little lacing Very bright, pleasant aroma. Hoppy taste, very crisp and clean. Light bodied and smooth.

Overall one of the best new pilsners/lagers I've tried.

 

Look: Pours half-hazy golden yellow. Beautiful fluffy white head for the style, though bubbles aren't uniform. Head retention is medium for the style; great lacing left on the glass.

Smell: The nose on this is somewhat of a mixture between what you get from a typical pilsner, and hop overtones. Unfortunately the hop smell is mid enough, that I can't pick out distinct hops. I have to say that this combination is honestly really pleasant.

Taste: Actually pretty typical for pilsners — bitter, clean, light, crisp. You can tell that there are some extra hops in there, but the difference is mild.

Feel: The body is crisp and light, very drinkable. I could easily kill a pack of these in a row. Alcohol is not even close to being apparent. Carbonation is typical for the style

Overall: I don't typically drink pilsners, but I'm loving this one. So approachable and drinkable. The hops are present, but it's for sure a pilsner. I'm loving the development of New Glory too; glad to be drinking local.

From the 03/30/18 can release

Appearance - Pours with a slight haze and golden yellow in color with a white, finger width head. Sub-par retention results in a thin, broken layer of suds with a solid ring encircling the edge of the glass. No lacing.

Smell - Prominent grassy and slightly citrusy hoppiness battles it out with bready white malt sweetness and a hint of grain. Faint honey and floral character as well.

Taste - Follows the nose, though not quite as . Balanced flavor profile that begins with a some light bready sweetness before a fresh grassy hop character cuts in, bringing with it a touch of bright citrus notes.

Mouthfeel - Light in body with a fair amount of tingly carbonation. Easy drinker with a crisp, semi-dry finish.

Overall - A pretty good hoppy pilsner. Solid flavor profile with great balance. Goes down nicely. On the pricier side as far as pils go, so not something I'm likely to buy often.
