01 Easy Pils
Jabru Bevco Ltd

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Oct 2018. Purchased recently from Home Bargains. Described on the label as a modern pilsner that is cold-hopped at the end of the brewing process to impart aroma and subtle bitterness.

A: Poured into a pilsner glass. A crystal-clear pale gold hue with light carbonation. Produces a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before reducing to a patchy surface layer.

S: Aroma of floral hops with hints of honeysuckle, blossom, mild citrus, grass/hay, light malt and subtle earthiness. Clean and refreshing- rather good.

T: Tastes of fruity hops with notes of blossom, light citrus zest, mild honey, grass/hay, pale malt and earthy yeast. A whisper of diacetyl in the background. Very dry, followed by a crisp, understated bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with prickly carbonation and decent body for the style. Lightly astringent. Aftertaste of mild grassy bitterness, floral hints, faint citrus, pale malt and earthiness.

O: Surprisingly good - subtle and floral. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour deliver balanced blossom, delicate citrus, pale malt and earthiness. Decent body; light but not watery. Very drinkable and exceeds expectations. I admit that when I read 'pils made in England' on the label, I thought it wouldn't be that great. Worth trying.
