Penn Pilsner

Brewed by Pennsylvania Brewing Company
Style: Vienna
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Lager glass

Sickly sweet, don’t expect a pilsner, other than the Saaz (description only says Hallertau?) hopping and carbonation. Pours an orangey-yellow color with some chill haze, lots of carbonation, but a short-lived head. Aroma was light grass, some cardboard, some bready aspects. The flavor was bread, sweet cookies, caramel, corn, and light grass. Mouthfeel was sickly sweet for a "pilsner," nothing dry at all about the finish, even with a significant level of carbonation. Too sweet to enjoy.

Amber pour with a light head. Flavor is fairly reminiscent of a Molson Canadian with a bit more balance and malt body. Sweetish character with malt goes nice and is a departure from what I expected in a Pils.

Bottle. Pours copper with a decent sized white head. Aroma of hops, caramel malts, and grass. Flavor is smooth, sweet, malty, carbonated, with a dry bitter hoppy finish. Good body, ok brew.

A medium bodied vienna with a dry and sweet finish. Now, knowing the style as a vienna I understand its malty aroma and malty taste. Satisfying, not offensive nor interesting. Corn and carmel too, a macro brew replacement. Apparently not made by the brewery.

I found this to be an okay beer, departing from a standard pilsener. Amber copper color. Some hops in aroma. Grainy malt taste with a hint of std hops.

My favorite locally brewed beer. Great for everyday. More flavor than a typical pilsner. Probably more like an ale.

Well carbonated, honey colored pour with a straw aroma. White head that has just a touch of lacing. Sweet, malty front end with a slightly bitter hop finish. A good session beer.

I think they miss-bottled this. Hardly a pils. Very smooth and polite ale. Pours offwhite head with a cloud of brown amber dust. Nose is somewhat soapy.Taste is straight bread, caramel, faint cinnamon over a malty layer.
