Wild Rose Czech Pilz

Brewed by Wild Rose Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Calgary, Canada

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Great looking beer. Crystal light yellow with glow everywhere. Short but fairly thick head is perfectly cut, like a kid colouring within the lines of a colouring book. Nose has ripe granny smith apples, light hops, faint marzipan, and candy shell. Palate has an introduction of wheat then becoming sweet apple in the middle. Candy tarts, seasoning salt and a touch of prune join in. This one fades fast and the finish is short, to be expected from the type of beer. A touch over-carbonated and some oily feel in the mouth. A pretty decent Czech.

In short: An bohemian pilsner with a strong herbaceous plants character. Very nice.
How: Bottle 500ml swing-top. Consumed fresh a few days after receiving it from hobbersr. Thanks a lot Riley.
The look: Cloudy blonde body topped by a medium white head
In long: A lot of saaz on the nose along with a freshly backed lemon pie. Taste is very herbaceous. Yes there is that typical bitter dry grass flavour that I associate to saaz but also a lot of dry herbaceous plants. It’s autumn and I’m eating dry dead herbaceous plants lying in an wild field. Even a little lilac flavour among others. Well malted body with a hay and cookie sensation. Overall this is an enjoyable take on a style I like. One of the rare (only?) decent bottled Czech style pilsner in Canada. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of decent Czech style pilsners in Canada and still have at least one finger left to make a statement towards our current government.

This is a lovely hazed pale straw colored lager.in the pilsner flute. Decent white cap good lacing qualities. Modest small-bubbled carbonation. Leafy floral hopping over dry cerial aromas and a light mustiness greets the nose. Decent body for a pilsner. Profile is biscuit-malty, balanced well with earthy herbal hopping and a clean drying finish. Top notch micro pils.

Bottle. Pours hazy/cloudy yellow, white head, passable lacing. initial nose is malt/grain, leading into a mild buttery character, and a pervading earhiness. Earthiness continues onto palate, where it meets some gentle, leafy hop character. Different and interesting, but I’m not a huge fan.

Thanks savvy1982! Bright yellow, grainy bright aroma. Light, crisp, quick finish and some plastic.

500. thanks, savvy! cloudy medium gold. fizzy white head. grassy, wet leafy nose. fizzy medium body. mild grass and leaves mid palate. long slightly funky finish.

Bottle courtesy of savvy1982. Pours gold with a big white head. Smells of dry malt, perfume, some spicy hints. Tastes lightly tarte and dry with a peppery splash on the finish.

Fairly hoppy aroma. Pours golden with a foamy head. Flavourful and enjoyable beer. Nice body, clean drinking with a nice hop finish. These are the types of beers that would go over well in the average bar. don’t get why they push their crappy fruit beers and not stuff like this.
