Pfungstädter Brauerei Hildebrand Edel Pils – Pilsener at 4.9% ABV

Pfungstädter Brauerei Hildebrand Edel Pils Pilsener at 4.9% ABV (C$3.09 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 500 ml, best before 27-Aug-2016)

Appearance: clear pale straw, one finger of rocky white head, good retention and patchy minimal lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grainy pale malt, grassy. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (6/10) Light body, lively to moderate carbonation, crisp dry and astringent bitter finish. (3/5)

I like the sharpness of the finish, which comes across almost as fresh-cut grass, but other than that, nothing remarkable. Pretty simple and straightforward, with not a lot to distinguish it from any other number of pale Euro legs or Czech style pilseners. Perfectly OK with supper, though. (12/20)
