On tap at the Cumberland Brewpub. 5.3% ABV. Light amber with next to no head. Aroma of burnt malt, light noble Saaz hops and mild citrus. Taste of moderate noble hops, overdone malt and a mild bitter finish. ‘Twas okay.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large foamy white head. Aroma is a nice dry pils malt. Flavor is again a nice dry cracker malt with some suprising spicy hops toward the end. Tasted very fresh and true to the style.

Hazy stray color with a fast fading white head. The aroma is dominated mostly by pale malt and a hint of grassy hops. This might very well be the best tasting pils I have ever had. A great rich pale malt profile that leads into a crisp fresh biting bitter hop flavor that drags long with a resinous character. Medium bodied with perfect soft carbonation. I think that this is the most successful cumberland brew I have ever had--on style to bavarian code, and damn fresh. This is what I would expect a bavarian pils to taste like fresh on tap from the source over seas. The only thing separating this from a perfect bavarian pils is Cumberland’s notorious inability to produce a clear beer.
