Commercial Description:
Blue Paddle Pilsener, crafted with malt-only brewing and noble hops, explores the boundaries where American lagers seldom journey. Reflective of Europe's finest Pilseners, Blue Paddle delivers a refreshing bitterness, vibrant finish and a subtle but intricate depth of flavor.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet citrusy. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus and malt, leading to a slightly bitter finish. The body is light.

Golden coloured. Vague hop aroma. Slightly malty, slightly dryish. Probably wouldn’t make a list of the top 1000 pilseners in Germany.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy golden with a small, white head. Clean and malty nose. Medium body, clean, malty accents and a fairly bitter finish. Straight. 180907

Golden colour with a soft sparkle. Well-balanced aroma with herbal hops and fresh bread. The soft body is accented towards the malts, which unfortunately don’t come off with the same fresh expressiveness that they do in the aroma. More like dull, day-old bread. There is some hoppy crispness in the finish to salvage things a bit.

33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Slight fruity hops nose. Fruity flavour, very mild and refreshing. Slight bitterness in the finish but mainly with a persisting light fruit note. Nice.
