Taco Wednesday
Kings County Brewers Collective (KCBC)

Tall can that tells me it was filled on 11/12/21.

Pours light golden with slight haze.

Grassy sniff

Crackery with some honey and again a grassiness coming through. Also a hint of ginger towards the finish. Refreshing and pleasing.

Worth a try.

 

 

16 oz can

Pours clear golden, thick white head dissipates slowly to a lacing.

Aroma of grassy and cereal malts.

Flavor is of cereal malts, some citrus, herbal tea and zesty hops.

Medium body, tingly carbonation.

This is pretty good, not very pilsnery. Tastes more ale-like. Drinks easy. Worth a try but don't expect lager characteristics.

 

L: Overflowed on cracking and raised six fingers of orange-ivory foam in a Pilsner glass on a moderate pour. Otherwise a mostly filtered dark straw yellow with some lacing to show.

S: I also get grass and lemon zest. Light cracker malt, tin, and pine. Quite in my face.

T: Head is a bit tinny metallic. Brew follows the nose. The taste is powerful Pilsner while not very funky. It is quite dry and crisp.

F: Dry and light. Cleaner finish and tons of carbonation.

O: I really should love this based on the aspects of my review. I guess it is more Pilsner (and more hops) than my typical go to pils, and with that strong pine resin finish it was too much for me overall. A polarizing beer I’m sure so I give that praise despite the side I’m on. Some will love it as it is well-crafted.

16oz can with a 11/19/20 date.
Clear straw color with a large, dense head. Heavy lacing left down the glass. Aroma of lemon and grass with some pilsner malt. Expected more as it is dry-hopped. Flavor is clean and crisp with a lemon/herbal combo flavor. Light and dry just how I like my pils. A tad larger in body but it is compensated by abundant carbonation. Usually I am disappointed in East Coast lagers but this one is impressive.

 

-can pour with with a grassy aroma and a whiff of lemon. The carbonation is superfine. The flavors are cracker-like malt and some citrus hop, (lemon and tangerine). The finish is very dry. This has delicate aspects and is very refreshing.
