Line Street Pilsner
Weyerbacher Brewing Co.

 

Pours a hazy golden color with a thumbnail length foamy head that displays good retention.
Aromas of toasted, biscuity and honey malt up front, followed by floral and lemon hops.
Sweet up front with a honey malt quality that is also toasty and biscuity. However, a moderate hops bitterness soon develops. It yields spicy, peppery and grassy flavors. The finish is lemony and dry.
Medium bodied with a soft malt texture. Slightly hops forward. The carbonation is moderately soft. The mouthfeel is more smooth than crisp.
A nice Czech pilsner. I would have it again.

A: Dense hazy orange, N.E.I.P.A. style, with a dirty ivory head that was thin, a bit washy and quickly dissipated. Really like the bright orange coloring.

S: An aroma of fresh barley stalks right from the field. Clean, softly hopped with some dry flowers and dry grains. A touch of sugary grain malt. The hoppiness was rather refrained.

T: The flavor had some sugary sweetness and a spicy bright nature of hops that provided a Czech like zing along with some citrusy-tropical notes. Bright oranges, fresh barley and dry grains with background notes of fresh wet citrus and fruitiness, almost tropical in nature. White grapes, fresh pear slices and honeydew add to the fruity and bright nature of the hopping. Finishes with some grapefruit-lemon, a wet tartness with some dry lemon peel and herbal hops upon warming.

M: Medium body, tart and tangy mouthful, smooth texture.

O: Overall like the addition of the Mandarin Barvarian hops in this, a pleasantly, fruity and new experience that spices up a pilsner malting. While the coloring is a bit darker, no worries, it was a bright spot in the appearance and made the perfect compliment to the wet and fruity nature of the hops. Soft herbal notes and a lingering lager yeastiness rounds things out for a crisp and refreshing summer time quencher.

 

Not a bad beer, but very little like a Czech Pilsener. Another pale ale and an ok one, but they are a dime a dozen.

 

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass.

L---Golden yellow with a large whitehead that quickly disappeared with minimal lacing.

S---You can certainly tell there's hops there. Citrusy.

T---Crisp & lemony. Hops are obvious.

F---Crisp& refreshing. Mouth watering, even.

O---Excellent pilsner. I mean excellent. Nice work Weyerbacher folks.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden with tall, long lasting, fluffy, white head. Aroma is of citrusy hops and biscuit malt and lemon. Body is medium and crisp. Herbal hops and pale malt nicely balanced on the palate. Finish is long and herbal. Good Pilz.

 

 

 

Snagged a single bottle on my recent trip to Philadelphia.

Pours a deep, golden yellow with a half inch of foam atop. Lots of lacing on the glass as you drink. On the nose, this one comes off as quite complex with grass, light fruits, butter and cream. On the tongue, it's light and sweet up front, followed by a buttery middle and finishing crisp and dry with a lingering grassy bitterness. The mouthfeel is a little thin with solid carbonation and some oiliness.

Overall this is a very easy drinking and flavorful, hop-forward take on a Czech style pilsener. I'd enjoy having another. Cheers!

 

 

 

A thanks to the legendary woodychandler for this beer. Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. This beer came gushing out, resulting in a yellow color with a 1 1/2inch head. Smell is mild, some grains. Taste is malts, lemons, light hops are present. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

We have achieved the kick-off of New Beer Sunday (Week 626) & I am using the occasion to kick-off my long-awaited & much-needed horizontal of Weyerbacher B.C. beers. I have a LOT of their beers in my Bottle Backlog and it may take several days until they are depleted. Enjoy the ride!

From the bottle: "Hoppy Pilsner".

I Pop!ped the cap and began a gentle pour since I was kind of distracted by the hockey game on TV & I did not want to have to clean up a mess. Once enough had been decanted, I employed an in-glass swirl to raise two fingers of foamy, rocky, bone-white head with modest retention. Actually, it fell away while I was looking away, but it left some great lacing as a souvenir. Color was Pale-Straw (SRM = 1 - 2) with NE-quality clarity, but it looked more like a urine sample. Czech that - I have made water that was darker than this beer! Nose had a grassy, grapefruit/lemon citrusy hoppiness and a biscuity maltiness. Mmmm. At last, some hops into which I can sink my hophead teeth! Mouthfeel was medium. This was more bitter than a standard Czech Pils, but that was fine by me. It had a distinct Northwest hops character, but it was not so strong as to overwhelm the Bavarian hops or the biscuit malts. Finish was semi-dry to dry and very refreshing. I was turned onto Czech Pilsners by my FerMentor, Lew Bryson, many years ago and once I understood that they relied more heavily on hops than German Pilsners, I was off and running! Now, if they would just put this in a CAN, I would happily drink it all summer.

I think they nailed it! Was afraid it would be imbalanced. Yes, a bit hoppy but balanced and refreshing.

Five out of Five if I could give it that but I just finished my second so time will tell.

 

part of a mix a six picked up from good ta go in chambersburg yesterday. best by 11/20/16, so about 6 weeks past its best by.

faintly hazy yellow body. small white head,. faint lacing.

not getting much aroma, just a "clean" smell.

quite mild tasting overall. though there is a tang on the tongue at first, the hops have clearly faded due to the age. which may or may not be a good thing depending on how you feel about hoppy pilseners.

close to medium on the mouth.

overall, given the age, an okay inoffensive beer. might have more oomph to it within a couple of months of bottling.
