Serving Type: CanABV: 5.3 percent
Appearance: This brew featured a straw gold body that was a little transparent, but still vivid enough in color to look great and appetizing. There was almost a two-inch head that was bubbly, white and had definitive bubbles. It was foamy at first, but faded back in quickly. Despite the appearance of the head, there weren't many apparent carbonation bubbles present to explain the head. Still, a pleasing brew to visually take in.
Smell: Very grainy and grassy. This was even a touch on the sweet side. No, make that a heavy helping of sweet!
Taste: Surprisingly, this was a bit fruity on the front of my tongue. It was an interesting flavor, but I couldn't exactly decipher what it was. The grassy flavors set in about mid-way back and helped to set up the traditional pilsner finish. I had to wait, but the hop and biscuit both bit me just as everything went down the pipe. These two flavors became more apparent in the aftertaste after a few seconds. Texture was definitely there, given the lack of carbonation that was visible.
Overall Rating:
Definitely one of the best pilsners I've ever had. Certainly my favorite Oskar Blues offering. Sweet, yet it bites you before everything goes down. Maybe just a little more carbonation to help in the texture department. I'd also like to figure out what that fruity flavor was exactly!
