Steamworks Brewing Company Steamworks Pilsner Pilsener at 5.0% ABV ($3.50 at South Trail Co-Op, 500ml, no can date or best before)
Pours clear pale straw with one finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, moderate lacing. (4/5) Nose is light sweet crackery malt, citrus, grassy and herbal hops. (6/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter. (6/10) Light body, moderate carbonation, dry bitter finish. (3/5)
Not bad. I mean, no pilsener is ever going to be great, that’s a given – but this is OK. For a fizzy yellow beer. Pleasant citrus and herbal hops on the front end, and a not-insignificant bitterness (can says 30 IBU) on the finish. Worth a try. (14/20)
