Wisby Pils

One of the best pils I´ve ever had. Served in the beautiful flûte style glasses a warm summerday at the brewery in Visby. Even more dry than Jever, but the wheat makes it very balanced. A perfect drink together with a meal.

The colour is clear, pale yellow. The compact white foam sinks slowly into a thin white lid. A sour note of hops with some flavours of sweet malt and yeast dominates the smell. The carbon dioxide is balanced with small bubbles. I like it! This beer has got a generous body of mats that passes into a gentle maltiness that develops into a nice aftertaste with a good bitterness. The aftertaste grows into a somewhat dry flavour with some sourness. A very nice interpretation of the German Pilsener, that at least suits me! Wisby Pils is brewed by the Gotlands Bryggeri microbrewery that serves as an experimental workshop for the large Spendrups Brewery. It is located in Visby, the main town on the island of Gotland, located in the centre of the Baltic Sea. The water on the island is very limy, bringing a special touch to their beers.

Good head. Nice smell. A VERY good bitterness to be a swedish beer. More "czech" than most czech pilsners. The flavor is really good and lingers for a long time. Good one!

The beer pours gold with a 1 cm white head. The aroma is apple, honey, cut hay, and a touch of grain. Smells like a pils. Thank goodness for that--some of the other Swedish beer labeled as pils sure as hell didn’t. The mouthfeel is crisp, with nice carbonation. The taste is sour apple up front, with an excellent, hoppy pils finish. The aftertaste is wonderfully bitter. An excellent pils. I find it a bit more fruity than usual, but excellent nonetheless.

Golden with dense white head. Sweetmalty aroma with notes of fruit, spices, hops and herbs. Fresh and clean. malty flavor with notes of plastic and som hops. Some sweetness. Medium but long and dry bitterness.
