Piping Plover Pilsner
Wrightsville Beach Brewery

 

 

12 ounce can into pint glass at Shark Bar, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing on the glass, and a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Very fruity/yeasty aromas. Flavors of lemon, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body. Nice crisp, clean, and refreshing finish. Some lingering yeasty notes. Bready and sticky balanced mouthfeel. Increasing bitter dryness with no hop astringency. Very flavorful but a bit too yeasty for a pils. Overall very enjoyable, despite it's flaws.

 

 

 

From a can at the Burning Can Festival (NC).

Pale clear golden body topped with a good white head.
This is very malt forward for style ... extra malts rather than low hops i think.

Very nice pale malt beverage ... but not a traditional pilsner.
