Bohemian Pilsner
Switchback Brewing Company

 

The head crests around two fingers, populated by a great many larger bubbles, creating a mottled surface, bleached white color, not a lot of lacing but what is there sticks decently enough. Basic pure golden color to the liquid, summery haze to it, widely dispersed bubbles, no beads. While the nose has a peppery and saline aspect, its best attribute is its sweetness with biscuit and croissant flakes, honey and corn syrup, undercurrent of peach or apricot white pit fruit, dissolves with a floral lift and overall freshness. Medium-bodied, has some crispness but is mostly on the round and softer side, fills the mouth rather than prickles it. More of that syrupy sweetness and sweet graininess, does not quite coalesce into baked goods here. Fruity, hint of mineral water and retains some of the pepperiness. The carbonation is soft and creates added mouth expansion. Has no overt flaws and while somewhat heavier than expected stays clean enough. Good drinkability and had no problem putting back a bomber in no time.
