COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Very Important Pils, per raffinati cultori della birra, per coloro che amano la particolarità. Il nobile sapore amaro, per tradizione in questa tipologia volutamente accentuato, il finissimo perlage e la superba schiuma concorrono a fare di Forst V.I.P. Pils una birra signorile ed elegante, una V.I.P. per V.I.P. Particolarmente beverina, questa birra è un ottimo aperitivo. Con il suo gusto secco e il raffinatissimo profumo di luppolo essa prepara corpo e mente all’assunzione del cibo. Birra elegantissima, frutto di sapienti miscele dei migliori malti e luppoli Saaz, per le sue qualità ben si merita l’appellativo di V.I.P. (Very Important Pils).

forst (9) - ITALY - JAN 20, 2009 does not count
Probably the best italian pilsner on tap, except for a couple of microbrewery-scene ones maybe.

LordCorkscrew (1737) - Ronco Scrivia (GE), ITALY - APR 15, 2008
UPDATED: AUG 29, 2008 Una piccola delusione in bottiglia da 33cl (comprata al Drink Shop di Nave); aroma non spiacevole e piuttosto luppoloso anche se con qualche intermezzo cerealicolo. Corpo acquoso però, e sapore anche se un poco più pungente non molto diverso dallo standard di pils commerciali meno quotate (Pedavena). // AGGIORNATA: bevuta molto spesso in questa mia vacanza montana, alla spina, soprattutto a Merano (al birrificio) e a Malles Venosta (in un pub Forst); tutta un’altra birra: floreale e raffinata pur nella sua beverinità e con una luppolatura profumata e gustosa. Ci sarebbe da dare due voti differenti...

bitter (1137) - Henderson, Nevada, USA - JAN 21, 2004
in florence on tap in forst glass: golden clear, nice fluffy head/big bubbles with air pockets. well balance malt/hop flavor for an italian pilsener or way better then american crap(macro-stuff). easy drinking and refreshing on a hot day with nice flavor. went back to this cafe just to have another glass....no more poroni or moretti for me!!

gunnar (2279) - Sandnes, NORWAY - MAR 21, 2011
Draught. Pours clear straw coloured with a small creamy white head. Lots of really small bubbles in the glass. Aroma is light yeasty and grainy. Taste is dry and hoppy, fresh and crisp, dusty malts towards the end. Not bad.

Voivod (304) - Como, ITALY - FEB 23, 2003
Golden colour, good bubbly head. The taste is fresh and quite malty, with a good balanced bitterness in the hoppy aftertaste. Refreshing and drinkable, a good standard pilsener.
