Commercial Description:
Pure pils pleasure with a juicy jolt... Our latest single hop varietal pils features a fresh twist. A very fresh twist as whole flower hops went from the vine to the kettle in a mere 10 hrs. giving the beer a snap of freshness that has to be tasted to be believed. In 'wet hopped' beers such as this, the hops are full of fresh oils that dissipate when the hops normally dried. These essential oils give Braumeister Harvest Pils the clean, spicy hop aromas you'd expect from a pristine pilsner, followed by the long, satisfying mouthfeel full of flavorful hop depth and substance. All this flavor yields to clean malt and a crisp finish.

Tap at Legend with maniac. Hazy yellow with a decent head, mistaken by most for a wit at first glance. Aroma was a huge blast of green hops with floral and herbal notes. Flavor was a somewhat shocking hop tea. No discernable malt character whatsoever that I could pick up, much to my surprise. Loads of green hops with floral, herbal, and slight grass character, long bitter finish. But the lack of suffficient malts really hurt this badly for me. RERATE: Ultra clear this time around, still has a load of spicy, floral and herbal hops. Great nose, flavor still hurts from lack of malt character.

Draft half pint at statelineliquors.com. Pour is golden with a huge fluffy white head, solid retention and lacing. The aroma was bready, pilsy malts, some grass. The flavor was mostly bready with some dough in there too, a spicey grassy hop presence, good balance and heartiness. The finish was clean and dry, amply carbonated, full-bodied, again a hearty feel to it even. A nice beer. Thanks, Robert!

Growler provided by kmweaver. Very slightly hazy pale body with medium white head, fading. The aroma is herbal, light grass, honey and light dough. The flavor is herbal, grass, clean yeast, very light lemon and fairly dry. Medium/light body is round with soft carbonation.

Rerate, Draft @ Frisco’s. Pours a hazy, golden-yellow color; fluffy bright white head with solid retention and lacing. Lots of grassy and mineral hops in the aroma; a touch of white grapes. Perfect mouthfeel: dry, dense mineral hoppiness, with some citrus and lime zest; toasty malt and cereal core; intensely drinkable and refreshing. Medium, toasty finish: cereal, mineral hops, and a touch of herbal bitterness.

Growler. Pours a clear yellow color; fluffy, white head with good retention and great lacing. Light, herbal and grassy aroma. Lively carbonation. Medium, creamy mouthfeel: pleasant levels of sugar and vanilla and citrus hops; very drinkable and tasty. Medium, sugar and citrus finish; nice crisp hoppiness. 7.4.7.4.15=3.7

Draught: Slightly bitter aroma. Smells of hops, with floral and citrus notes, was well as of pils malts. Poured golden in color with a big white head. Good lacing. Cloudy. Lightly sparkling. Flavor was moderately bitter. Tasted primarily of Pils malts and citrusy hops with a hint of lemon. Light to medium body. Lively carbonation. Dry, bitter finish. Another good Victory Pils.

On draft at Issac Newton’s with Mad Indian. Pours golden with a huge white pillow of a head. Aroma of grassy hops and pale malts, and slight bread. The flavor is mildly bitter, bready, and a little thin.

Tried ths draft beer at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte, NC. Pale golden in color, clear with a good head. Grainy or grassy aroma with some Czech hops, maybe.Good malt flavor and lots of hops. Thicker than most pilsners. Dry and very crisp aftertaste.
