Commercial Description:
In the words of our President and founding father, Russ Klisch, "Klisch Pilsner is a meat and potatoes beer," meaning that though there are no darker specialty grains used to influence the color or texture of this beer, it is nonetheless a full-bodied satisfying all-malt brew. The recipe is simple, but how it is put together is what gives this beer its complexity. The deep golden color and malty flavor come from an ample amount of domestic malted barley and imported hops. The addition of Saaz hops added at the end of a two-hour boil gives the beer a wonderful balance with the accent on the hops.

12oz brown bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester as part of this brewery’s sampler 8-pack. Pours a light straw body with a quarter inch of off-white head that quickly dissipates. Smells sweet and bready, as well as slightly fruity. Tastes sweet, bready, slightly nutty... Not a lot of hop presence (surprisingly). Light bodied with moderate carbonation... Tasty and drinkable, though not quite to style IMO. Still a pretty solid beer.

Bottle: Hazy light golden with an initially huge white head that collapses to a film. Fairly sweet aroma. Notes of doughy Pilsner malt, along with green apple, honey and pear. Pretty spritzy feel. There is a sweetness upfront reminiscent of herbal honey and dough- which is followed by bright citrus (lemon zest) and apple skin with later grassy/mild bitterness. Simple, but well balanced and fairly clean.

Bottle: Not a very good beer. Pours light, almost like a pale pager. Tastes like one too.

Pours a clear hay yellow color with a fine looking cloudy white head. Fresh biscuity nose, with a floral dose of citrusy hops. Clean and refreshing on the palate, with just the slightest hint of adjuncts, but not disappointing at all even though it misses a few style marks, but overall I found this to be quite easy to drink.

Bottle: Poured a light golden color with not much head. The aroma was earthy and malty. The flavor was that of corn and barley. Not much character from malt or hops. Overall, just an OK beer.
