Would you ever market a beer like this?

if it's intentional it can be quite appealing, depending on the style. Duchesse, flag porter, taddy porter, etc., come to mind.

 

A light crisp finish a good Czech pils is actually about right for the style.

 

If I had to guess I'd say they simply brewed a mediocre pils with metallic off flavors and, instead of dumpIng it, decided to creatively market their mistake.

 

Sounds like they are trying to play around their "Tin Man" branding more so then accurately describing the liquid. Could be wrong... Anyone tried it?

 

I would still try it but I really don't like metallic flavors in beer.

 

Hmmm n!?? Lemme try this... I have a pocket full of change in my mouth now to drink..... Gee tastes like.... Er Brooklyn.
MARKETING!!!! Get JZ on the line....

 

I wouldn't want to try anything that's intentionally metallic. After having had a bad 21st Fireside Chat that tasted like spiced molten aluminum, I'm done with cans for good.

 

Circuit is brewed with Saaz hops which in fact do have a "metallic' finish. It is intended to be crisp and refreshing like is typical for the style. It is not a brewed mistake that has been aptly marketed instead of being dumped. a metallic taste will have nothing to do with the beer being a canned beer especially since it's currently on draft only. Snowrs, don't be scared...stop in Friday and try some. Scared of getting a metallic taste? Try it nitro style. All the brews are very tasty!

 

Really? You'll miss out on some excellent beer that way.

 

Apologies if my post came off overly cynical, but I have been burned too many times by US craft "Czech-style" beers to be truly open at this point. So I'm thankful when brewers/employees take the time to respond on these boards. I have to say that having brewed with Czech Saaz hops myself -- and having consumed multiple beers brewed with them, primarily while traveling in the Czech Republic, I've never noticed a natural metallic character. Are you in a position to divulge some more specifics about the hops you use? Would be interested in where they're grown, AA%, etc. Thanks, and best of luck with the new place and hitting the mark on your (difficult to brew) beers!

 

How can you brew a Bohemian Pilsner with American Ale yeast?

 

Perhaps they meant minerally? Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the American ale yeast, Vienna malt, etc. again makes me think some serious shortcuts are being taken here in the interest of offering a "gateway" beer. Wonder if American 2-row malt is used as well?

 

How is their American IPA 36 IBUs and their Porter 55?

 

Clever marketing, turning flaws into features.

 

Ain't you guys been payin' attention? American Craft Beer - it's all about INNOVATION, man!

 

Maybe is made with ferrous mineral water like Blake isle (scotland).the problem there are a lot of ferrous mineral waters in Europe, and depends from the lines of Volcanos'. For istance in tuscany there aren't volcanos but geyser (next to Siena). The ferrous mineral water come out 50 miles down in the Pisa country and water "smelt" of ferrous water. if there earthquakes, smell water of iron
