Serving Type: BottleABV: 5.2 percent
Appearance: This beer poured a very, very light shade of yellow/gold. It is also easily seen through. If you put this up aside something like a Miller Lite, the only things that would distinguish this one would be the following two characteristics that I noticed. The head was a little thick initially, but settled in as a thin creamy layer that resonated for pretty much the rest of the drink. The carbonation rushed very fast towards the top. If you enlarge the photograph you'll notice that they're actually kind of blurred. They also formed their own twisting and bending column inside the brew. This resembled something like a waterspout.
Smell: This beer had an effervescent aroma of sweet maltiness. There actually was a ton of it. This was slightly unexpected. There was also a tad of floral notes that were able to poke through.
Taste: The label of the beer stated that this was brewed with two types hops as well as two malts. That really wasn't noticeable on my tongue. This beer was really sweet to the taste. Like a lot. Especially up front. This is a pilsner after all. So, I was looking forward to a little biscuit bit on the back, but I didn't get much. Everything seemed off-kilter in the balance department. Not much hop bite was present either.
Overall Rating:
I like a good pilsner with a bit of bite in addition to its maltiness. I've always said that a balanced beer is a good beer. I like the sweetness of this, I just felt like the finish of this beer was kind of like when you have to leave a good movie early and miss the ending. I kept waiting for that bite, but it wasn't there.
