Between You & I
Green Bench Brewing Co.

 

Murky golden pour, fat finger of white foam, thick lacing. Musty rains, biscuit, touch of honey, lemon zest and grassy hops make up the smell and taste. Great up front and finish, but middle is kind of bland. Feel is crisp, clean, dry and musty/pale for style, decent carbonation. The wife loved it however

Smooth. Unfiltered medium golden body, a touch murky. Light lemon, mild crackery grain and touch of bright floral hop. Nice balance, slightly sticky grain sweetness, mild floral bitterness. Good body, overall mellow in the hop and malt department.

Canned date of 08/17/20

Clear straw color with a small head with some lacing. Herbal and grassy hop aromas dominate. The flavor starts off hop dominant and tasted clean and dry. And I was prepared to give this beer a much higher score. But now that my palate has adjusted, I am detecting things that are not deserving of a great score. It is actually sweet and even some butter in the finish. Nicely carbonated.

I do not think I have ever had a good pilsner from the East Coast and decided to give a brewery in Florida a chance. Better than a lot of the East Coast pils I have tried.

 

Beautiful, crystal-clear, light gold colored body; plentiful carbonation bubbles; half-finger thick white head, sudsy. Excellent floral and herbal hop smells. faint bready malt presence. Mild, crisp sweetness with a suggestion of honey; tasty hop bitterness. Medium-light body; crisp and semi-dry.

This is a collaboration brew and part of Fresh Fest 2020. The fest is an annual beer festival featuring black brewers. The beer came from Tavour as part of their Fresh Fest bundle. As to the beer specifically, it's pretty damn good. The appearance is marred by a weak head for a lager, but is top-notch in all other areas. It's very tasty, very refreshing. I'm glad I have a second can and kind of wish I had a few more to satisfy my pilsner itch.

16oz can from Tavour. Clear golden with initial foamy head. Grainy, musty aroma, biscuit malts. Taste is grainy and dry, mildly sweet with more dryness at the finish and a light lingering bitterness.
