Serving Type: BottleABV: 5.1 percent
Appearance: This pilsner had a real crisp appearance to it. It was really a classic look. Clear, yet golden body with a half-inch thick head. The head was bright white, foamy and ended up leaving a lot of thick lacing inside the glass. As most of us enjoy in brews of this style, there was a lot of carbonation rising towards the top and feeding the head of the beer.
Smell: For me, this was nice and grassy. It was even a bit grainy to my nose. There was also an intriguing floral hop aroma that I took in.
Taste: I actually got a touch of sweet malt on the front. That surprised me and tasted kind of odd once the rest of the beer's flavors hit me. Overall, this brew tasted very crisp and sweet. This is a German Pilsener. So, I expected to get a bit more hop content than I actually did. There was a bit of zing to this, but what I mostly tasted was crackers and maybe even a touch of corn.
Overall Rating:
I'm not completely opposed to corn in my beer. I'm all for trying different styles of beer. Especially ones that are broad interpretations of a style. This seemed to be one of the latter. A quality beer. I just wanted a little more bite on my tongue. Definitely an interesting one, though.
