Sarasota Brewing Original Prague Pilsner

On tap at the brew pub, beer listed as Old Prague Pilsner. Pours clear gold with thin bright white head. The aroma is sweet malts, grainy malts and a hint of vague hoppiness. It has a fresh crisp taste that harbors mild malt sweetness that becomes lightly Munich malt and biscuit-like while some spicy hop bitterness that seems to border on a grapefruit hop sensation balances out the whole experience.

Draft at brewpub on the beer list as Old Prague Pilsner. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate balanced hop and malt aroma. Light to medium body. Medium subtle malt flavor with a bittersweet finish of moderate duration.

on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is grain, light malt, musty. Taste is grain light malt-some sweet, musty, hops with flat bite. OK carbonation.

The aroma is light with some malt and hops. The appearance is pale gold. The flavor had adjunct malt and grassy hops. The palate is really thin. A really disappointing beer.

Tap at the brewpub. Aroma is steeped malt leaning to bready with some rich mildly herbal/citric hop notes. Body was a golden yellow and held a thumb thick, creamy white head that was mostly lasting. Fore has a good blast of saaz, but there are other hops in there too. Gets a little sweet through the middle. not as hoppy as most American attempts at the style. Quite nicely balanced really with a a crisp hop bite in the finish.

On tap at the brew pub. Poured a medium amber color with a small white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel with hops. Fizzy body.

I would call this a more traditional Bavarian style Pilsner, with its moderate hoppy bite in this finish. There is a nice light balance of malt and hop, hops prevail, but somewhat sweet as well. Drinkable, but there is just not much going on with these first two beers.

Draft at Sarasota Brewing Co., Sarasota, FL. A small sized white head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly dissipated. The body was softly and transparent with a yellow hue. The nose was of malt and hops with a hoppy flavor with an aftertaste. The mouthfeel was hoppy and this was a light bodied beer with good lacing.
