Verre à la brasserie. Arômes de houblon floral et de léger malt mielleux. Robe dorée, assez foncée et légèrement trouble, peu de mousse. Très équilibrée et veloutée en bouche, le malt est très rafraîchissant et équilibré par une belle présence de houblon floral (du Saaz, de toute évidence). Une excellente Pils.

Excellent beer! Amazing malty aroma, really nice, just smells great. Flavour is again wonderful, lots of malt, and some nice hops, just a great beer for the style!

New 2008 batch Cloudy, almost opaque golden shade topped by a large and mostly lasting white and frothy foam. Fresh, hay-like, grassy and cerealic lager. The residual yeastiness goes over the timid malts to ensure a firm, rather heavy palate for the style. Round, yet rather crisp, coherent carbonation. Generously hopped, cleansing bitterness that eats any trace of sweetness up. Dry and refreshing palate. Timid CO2 acidity. A most pleasant pint that drinks deceptively easily. This is my favourite pilsner batch I’ve had at Le Cheval Blanc.

In short: A generously hopped Pilsner. Dry, grassy and very bitter. Very good.
How: Tap at brewpub. Batched put on tap January 2008 at 5.25%.
The look: Almost clear golden-blonde body with a small white head leaving good lacing
In long: Nose is very grassy and a little musty. I can feel that the beer has its fair share of malt but the malt doesn’t play much in the overall taste. As soon as the beer enter the mouth the dry grassy hops take over. No sweetness detectable at all. Strong dry and grassy bitterness. Carbonation could have been a bit more relaxed. Unbalanced? Maybe, I don’t care. In my hands that pint lasted about as long as a South Park episode edited for political correctness.

Bu sur place, 12 oz. Blonde typique, moyen collet. Bon arome de malte sucré avec un peu de petit fruit. Goût de malte simple mais plaisant.

Golden color, with a frothy white head, floral hops, with a piney accent, pale malt, with a cedary aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp floral hops, and a coniferous character, pale malt, hint of citrus fruitiness, leading towards a dry, piney hops bittering finish.

Verre de 12 oz à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur d’agrumes et de caramel. Apparence: La couleur est blonde dorée avec une moyenne densité de bulle.. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel et d’houblons. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est mince avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. La sensation en arrière goût est légèrement astringente. (Rating #532)
