Battlesnakes
Brewery X

500 ml. can poured into a pint glass. The pour is a bit green(wheat?) in my eye and with a touch of haze. Half inch cap of white foam breaks down and leaves spotty lacing on the glass. Nose of lemony hops through the foam and a bit of pepper spice as the foam dissipates. Taste follows with citric notes, a light crackery body and more peppercorn on the close. Feel is a bit thin for the style likely due to base malts but the hops help carry the beer to the finish line. Overall surely a bit Americanized yet better than most domestic pilsners.

Looks like a canning date of 1/15/2025 so not fresh but not old either for a pils. Noted as a Bohemian/Czech style on website...

 

 

This was $2.50 a can. I can't tell you how happy I was to pay that. BRING BACK 6-PACKS! Just keep the pint cans. Like Pizza Port. And Brewey X apparently.

I know not every craft brewery can match those prices these days, but $4 a pint for STORE BOUGHT beer is just not ok as a baseline price. This is more like it. Plus, 6 pints of pilsener is only enough to keep a few people happy for an hour or two. SELL LARGER BATCHES of your small beers. Dumb bastards...

This pours beautifully. Also, this is exactly the kind of beer I've been trying to get every idk-if-I-like-beer bitch to try since 2018.

It smells like flowers and bread. Hints of lemon, honeysuckle and jasmine green tea... Almond and poppy seed too.

Tastes exactly like a pilsener should. Doughy and floral with a touch of citrus.

The bitterness is really restrained. This is a very well-balanced pilsner. It's almost too rich for the style, but the hops give it a dry finish that helps it remain light and refreshing.

Again, this is the drinking experience that everyone who drinks miller high life is missing. If they just tasted this, they would leave their old life behind without question. I hope they do.

Crystal clear, light yellow body; rough, lively carbonation; thin, sudsy head. Bold cereal grain smell; toasted wheat; mild sweet undercurrent. Nice taste; clean; strong hop bitterness; mineral-like. Medium-light body; crisp; semi-dry mouthfeel.

A fine little pilsner that satisfies overall.

16oz can served in a footed pilsner glass. Dated 10/28/21. Received from @Beersnake1 in a LIF associated with NBS BIF #14.

Pours very clear yellow with a big fluffy head and pretty good retention, lots of carbonation. Smell is yeasty, slightly lemony, a little spicy, and grassy.

Taste is very hoppy. I do get a little bit of a floral/honey sweetness, but I get a fair amount of grassy bitterness and a lot of resinous bitterness.

Mouthfeel is fairly thin, very light, a little dry. Overall, this is a pretty good beer.

Pours a crystal clear, very light golden color. somewhat effervescent. Thin two finger white sudsy head forms on the beer. The head partially dissipates, but there is a thin layer of foam on the beer that shows excellent retention.

Aroma has notes of straw, white bread with bright herbal, floral, somewhat fruity hop notes.

Taste has notes of pilsner or crackery malt providing a very neutral backbone for the hops to shine on. The hops provide notes of lemon, lime, lemon grass, lemon verbena, with a slightly spicy, herbally bitterness on the back end. Personally, I would prefer a bit more from the malt backbone, but its still very good.

Feel is light, crisp, with bright vibrant carbonation.

Overall this is a very nice, refreshing pilsner. Thanks Tim!

Absolutely beautiful pale pilsner, straw gold with excellent head production and retention.

Bright, herbal nose, with straw, cracker, and biscuit.

Flavor follows. There's a bit of the pungent earthiness I associate with pilsner malt, and a touch of bright lemon zest, along with notes of wheat, pale grains, and honey.

Super crisp and drinkable, although it's a touch on the heavy side for a 5.2% ABV pilsner.

 

Poured from fridge temp. Pours clear yellow with good amount of white head. Nose is wheat, a bit of pine, grass, and honey. Very crisp on the nose. The taste is super refreshing. Wheat, malts, a touch of bitterness, honey, and a touch of leather. Overall, a very nice and easy-drinking beer.

Battlesnakes pours a very light straw color with a big fluffy white head and light carbonation. Smells lightly of a sour and actually quite good. Taste has an up front sour flavor then you get the malt. Interesting and pretty good. The mouthfeel is so light and so easy to drink. Overall a nice beer. From a 16 ounce undated can from Anaheim, CA from my BA Bestie @RaulMondesi . as always Thanks for sharing.

Raul don’t really know about snakes, you know? Except for that one time they were on a plane. Anyway, this one ain’t no garden snake - nor is it a king cobra. Yeah... I think we should call it a “garden cobra” because it’s somewhere in-between. And that’s alright with me.

Peace!
