Maritime Pacific Portage Bay Pilsner

On draught at the Jolly Roger brewery/taproom grill in suburban Seattle, WA. Pours a clear golden pale blonde brew with a creamy white head that slowly dissipates with good retention and some nice lacing. Aroma of crystal golden grain malt, some citrus zest and flowery hops wit a touch of butter. Taste is light bodied with some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, citrus zest, some sweet pears and a touch of lemon. Finish is semi-sweet with a golden grain malt aftertaste. An excellent summer pils.

Clear yellow, thin white head. Crispy, toasty aroma, with a unlying aroma of spicy hops. Clean hoppy flavors at first, then some bready notes. Clean, crisp finish.

on tap-pours a retaining white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is grain-some sweet. Taste is grain-some sweet, light/grassy/lemon hops, crisp. OK carbonation.

Yellow gold color. Mild bread in the aroma. Mild sweet bready flavor with a lightly spicy finish. A good drinkable beer.

Golden colour. Rich saaz nose, with hints of pale malts. The flavour is thin on the malts, but yet they impact the mouthfeel a bit anyway. Hop bitterness is moderate. It lacks the voluptuous tang of the best Czechs but its a solid, refreshing American example.
