Bastone Pilsener

Brewed by Bastone
Style: Pilsener
Royal Oak, Michigan USA

Golden with lasting white head. Biscuit, floral, and grass aroma notes. Citrus, biscuit, and sweet malt balance. Carbonated with dry, bitter finish.

This bottled brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that was long lasting and left behind a transparent uncarbonated light yellow colored body and an excellent lacing. The weak aroma was malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops and mild astringency. An OK brew just nothing special.

Draft. White head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, no visible carbonation, transparent, and an yellow hue. Aroma was malt and hops. Flavor was mildly malty and hoppy and somewhat bitter at the end. Light body. Decent for this style.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours a clear bubbly gold with an average size semi-lasting creamy white head. Nice aroma of floral hops with some sweet malt. Nice crisp hoppy flavour with a pleasant bitter finish -- now that’s a Pilsener! Medium bodied. This was a very pleasant surprise and quite good, especially for a Pilsener.

Draught at the brewpub. Light yellow, small white head with surprisingly good lacing. Nice fresh pils aroma, very sharp. Medium bodied for the style, nice pils taste of light malt and sharp hops. Refreshing without really blowing me away. A good pils, but the rest of the table, especially Pilsboy Blankboy, liked it a lot more than me.

Draught sampler at the brewpub. Bright golden with a decent white head. Aroma of fresh, herbal hops and light sweet malt. Flavour is crisp and fresh with tasty honey and hop notes and a dry, herbal, grassy finish. A very nice pils.

Draught. At the brewpub with blankboy, GregClow, jerc and tupalev. Very pale yellow, that’s about it. Aroma of sweet fresh grain, grassy hops, light and fresh, very nicely done. Tastes the same, a little milder than I’d like, but nice. Slightly water (even for a pils), light, soft and mildly astringent - quick crisp finish - very nice, an excellent refresher and I love those grassy hops.

Yellow body with solid white head and nice lacing. Very sweet floral aroma. Wow! A ton of grassy European hops and bitterness. Average palate. Not really to my taste but this is very interesting and a pretty solid pilsener.
