| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2008 On-tap at the Brick Store.
Pours a clear golden with a big fluffy white head that lingers as a sizable cap for a while and leaves very good lacing.
The aroma is extremely clean with an emphasis on the toasted grains with hints of earthy hops. There is a definite biscuity malt presence in the nose as well.
The taste was as crisp a pils as I’ve ever tasted. The biscuity malts are there in the background, but it’s the double punch of the light grains and floral hops that make the taste. The finish was extremely clean and dry.
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with tons of carbonation that zings the tongue from start to finish.
This is certainly a top notch pils and one that I would seek out. jcr (1195), Jasper, Indiana, USA
