1L howler from the brewpub - they don't make a lot of lagers there, so anticipation runs rampant!

This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy bone-white head, which leaves some random splattered and sudsy lace around the glass as it genially recedes.

It smells of gritty and crackery cereal malt, some faint generic pome fruitiness, a touch of petrol fumes, and some leafy, grassy, and spicy noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, a bit of lemon/lime citrus acridity, ethereal lager yeast, weak gasohol notes, and more earthy, musty, and dead grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-soaking frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt and Saaz hops seeing to that singularity.

Overall - this comes across as one of the more adherent locally produced versions of this style that I have yet to meet. I have a deep appreciation for Czech Pilseners, made more so by an old friend bringing me a number of samples from the Old World a few weeks back, and I can say that Sterling Silver can properly hold its own in that regard.
