Twins Pils
Summit Brewing Company

I tried a pint of this beer off the tapper at Target Field, the home of the Minnesota Twin in Minneapolis whilst there for a trade expo. It poured a clear golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base with great presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

Had on tap at the airport in Minneapolis. I’m a big fan of Pilsner Urquell and this local offering was reminiscent of that flavor. It was a smooth sip all the way through. The head left classic rings around the glass making it aesthetically pleasing to the last sip.

Served on tap in tall plastic cup at the ballpark.

A: Clear golden with 1-finger white foamy head with good retention and surprising lacing.

S: Mild pleasant nuttiness with more rustic grainy pale pils malt character. Not a lot of hop notes - maybe mild herbal.

T: Flavor is excellent with similar rustic, slightly nutty, grainy pils malt-forward quality. Mild noble herbal hopping. Slight nutty yeast ester is interesting and unique.

M: Highly drinkable with light body and clean slightly more full finish for the heft.

O: Wow - Summit Twins Pils is a for-real zwickelbier. Great job. Unique slight nutty yeast element with rustic maltiness are the highlights.

 

Pours a clear golden color and sports a foamy white head that coats the glass and leaves a nice cap on the body of the beer as you drink it. Beautiful zwickelbier.

The nose features spicy noble hops, a little bit of floral hops, and a nice grainy malt note, which is also EXACTLY where the taste lands, with a clean, crisp mouthfeel for a perfect finish. Really good stuff here.

From a 12oz can that I'm guessing enjoy by 08-08-24
Wally the beer man threw this to me at the Metrodome, well, probably not.
When I was a baseball fan, I was too young to drink, and never bought a beer from him. The strike of 94' happened, the same year I turned 21. I lost interest in baseball completely, and never looked back.
This is a clear golden pouring beer, with a bit of carbonation rising in the glass. The head is a 1 finger white head. The head is not long lasting with no lacing on the glass.
The nose is a beautiful grain/biscuit aroma. There's also a floral element from the hops in this beer.
Taste - There's a pleasing hop bitterness in this beer, and it hits right away. This hop element turns to a pleasing malty grain/biscuit flavor. The grain/biscuit has a nice sweetness to it, but not overpowering. The floral also mixes into the whole thing to add to the flavors.
This beer feels dry, crisp and clean. Actually quite full for the style.
Take me out to the old ball game... well, probably not, but this is a solid beer if you are not a baseball fan.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of bright cereal grain. Tastes of bright cereal grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

 

Considerably hoppier than your average pils (but not approaching pale ale level hoppy) and slightly sweeter than your average pils. This has been a great go-to pils.

Poured from a can. Straw and clear in color with a white foamy head and lacing. Smells of grain, malt and grass. Smooth and crisp, flavor is good and follows the smell.

 

 

24 oz draft pour at a Twins game. Pours a slightly cloudy straw yellow. Aroma and flavor feature pilsner malt, a hint of citrusy hops, and a pervasive bitter/astringent flavor which completely ruins this beer. Too bad because my other beer choices were AALs. I ended up not finishing 3 different beers over the course of the game.

It's probably been 7 or 8 hundred beers since I've had a beer with as big and fluffy and long lasting head as this and it leaves a nice lacing going down the side of the glass as I drink it. Something AB, Miller, and those brewers mastered many years ago and marketed as to what all beers should be represented as. Having said that and wholeheartedly disagreeing with that. But yet, kind of excited to see it when it happens. Nice aroma and a smooth taste with some grains/malts coming through and maybe the yeast a bit (not sure what taste the yeast should bring to this beer), but something slightly different in the taste that's not grains or hops (that I know of), but tasty never the less. Definitely a worth while beer.

 

Basic pils, but prefer Bent Paddle. Not too bad but seems to be missing something that I can’t identify. Win! Twins!

Like the team it's named after: Lousy. Has nice look with good head and carbonation. Other than that smells like corn, tastes like Coors light. Overall very poor. I'm from MN (Twin Cities) so like to support local beers. Try Bauhaus Wonderstuff, Bent Paddle Pilsner, Surly Hell, or Summit Keller Pils if it's still around for a MUCH better Pilsner option!
