3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle I picked up at Julio’s back in October. Never got around to rating the BB stuff figuring it was local enough that I’d get to it all eventually. Then they went out of business, so only managed to get a couple of what was left out there. Pours a slightly hazy treacle hued amber with a medium sized white head. Loads of citrus and grain. A bit thicker and sweeter than I’d think for a pilsner, with a bit more grain. Really grainy and bitter on the finish. Papery. Seems like it might have been a really good lawnmower beer at one point, possibly nice and crisp, but time has probably killed that.
