Teal Rising - Proud Pilsner
Boulevard Brewing Co.

 

 

 

Had on tap at the brewery.

On arrival 1 finger of delicate, fine, white head was present that slowly dissipated to a decent covering that leaves nice lacing. Light fine carbonation is present.

Aroma is a bit green. With just a bit too much yeast character it comes off as a bit dirty, but nowhere near macro lager levels. Very attenuated with a light amount of malt aroma.

Taste still has just a bit too much fermentation character. It's coming off as quite doughy, which covers up the malts. Not bad by anymeans but I don't think this was decoction mashed.

Feel is light and crispy, with a definite drinkability due to the high attention and lighter mouthfeel. Despite that the finish is medium long and is pretty nice.

Overall I expected to enjoy this more. I want just a bit more malty crackery vibes.

Clear golden color with a modest white head but does leave some nice lacing.
The aroma is light caramel malt, lightly toasted bread with some nice floral notes.
The taste is fresh biscuits with caramel notes. The finish is slightly dry and just a touch astringent. The body is light/medium, moderate carbonation, very smooth and really easy to drink. Altogether, this is a really nice Pilsner, tasty, smooth and very refreshing.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head of bubbly foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of grains, floral notes, toasted bread and crackers. Sweet bread taste with biscuity malt and a sharp bitterness.
