Tröegs Sunshine Pils

Brewed by Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy light yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Decent.

I was hoping for more with this pils. Pours pale yellow with a large sudsy / soapy white head. The aroma is clean sweet pale malt. Medium / light body with a moderate amount of sharp carbonation. Starts with very grainy malt with a touch of sourness (light skunk) that is probably from light damage. The finish has spicy / grassy / woody hops with a nice touch of earthy harshness - still some sourness though. Well done easy drinking pils, without the sour qualities this would have been great for the style.

Pours a transparent pale golden with a frothy, and nicely-lacing white head. Aroma of grainy pale malts and some noble hops with a hint of maize. Starts fairly light in body with a mild malty sweetness and turning more earthy, dry and floral saaz hoppy bitter toward a crisp finish. Fairly true to style, but nothing too interesting.

Sparkling clear yellow hue. Very small, white, fizzy head. Quickly diminishing with no lacing. The aroma is lightly malty with floral and citrus notes. The flavor is barely malty with a small butterscotch presence up front and a moderately bitter, lightly pungent and citrusy presence on the backside. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Long, bitter, dry finish.

Pale gold with a decent fluffy head that fades to a thin solid layer. Aroma is tart and grassy. Flavor is of grassy hops with a slight tartness in the finish that may be a very slight skunking of this sample but I am not sure. Finishes clean with a mild slightly tart grassy aftertaste. Nice but not my favorite pils.

Cloudy yellow body. Medium ivory-white head, good head. Lots of carbonation. Smells of lemony hops and sugary malt. Taste is sweet, bright and hoppy. Sweet cake spices too on palate. Aftertaste is mild hops.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy yellow, small white foamy head, good carbonation, with so-so lacing.   Malts and sweet grass on the nose.   Forwardly malty, quite grassy, with a notable cooked vegetable flavor.   Good mouthfeel and body.   Finishes with a slight grainy bitterness.   Not bad, but not my idea of a real good pilsener.

Light hoppy, straw aroma. Musty flavor with straw and bread. Light, spicy aftertaste.
