Woodstock Pilsner

Formerly brewed at Thomas Creek Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Greenville, South Carolina USA

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pale yellow with a puff of white head. Grass, lemon, stale socks. Nondescript bready lemon. Not a lot here but drinkable.

The sister beer of the Woodstock (Double) IPA also came in a tie-dyed labeled bottle. The look was typical of a traditional Pilsner, with a very clear, pale yellow body, lots of bubbles, and an average sized but durable head. Aromatically it was not as clean and hoppy crisp as I like a Pilsner to be, with a sweet, lemony scent, and a touch of DMS. The taste was average, with a refreshing, but a little muddy profile. The lemon twist effect was a bit overdone to be to my liking, and the lingering hop bitterness was metallic rather than spicy. This would turn out to be a good thirst quencher on a hot summer day, and the remainder of the six pack will certainly come in handy while I hang out on the porch. If they could hop it up a notch, and clean up the slight off flavors, this would be so much better.

Bottle via trade w/goldtwins. Pours a hazy pale yellow color. Zesty aroma with malt, hops, toast and grass notes. Very watery flavor with some slight toasty malt flavors. Something about the malts and yeast seem to clash together. Clean, dry finish.

Thanks to Goldtwins for this brew. Pours out a pale yellow color. Aroma doesn’t have much going on some malt. Taste isn’t overlly strong, decent amount of hop on the taste. Rather generic, but not a bad summer beer

Bottle courtesy of TBC2, thanks Matt. Pours yellow, can see through beer. Aroma is weak, just get a bit of hop presence. Taste is weak as well. I do not really get anything, just a light malt and citrusy/lemony hop taste. I mean if one is trying to make a smooth beer than this would be it but there really isnt anything worthwhile about a beer like this. Or maybe I just do not get Pilsners? Mouthfeel is fine though, the one upside.

Bought at a package store in Marietta, GA, where Woodstock people were doing a promotion. Picked up this one out of the cooler and drank it as soon as I got home. After working outside all day in 90 degree weather, this was a refreshing way to cool down. Later in the evening, tried the Woodstock IPA, which is another solid choice.

Bottle thanks to TBC2 for this one. Yellow gold color with a white head. Aroma has some light malt, some grassy hops. There is a light bitterness with some pale malt, maybe a little lemony. I’ve had better, but it wasn’t bad.

Pous is clear golden yellow with a thin bright white head...smell is grassy and malty...taste is a little citric and and grassy and sweet...a little cloying...
