Hop City Brewing Co. Polly Want A Pilsner Pilsener at 5% ABV (C$3.56 at NLC Stavanger, 473 ml, bottle date 1-Mar-2016, acquired 11-Jun-2016, reviewed 13-Jun-2016)
Appearance: clear straw with one finger of fluffy white head, medium-short retention and sparse lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grassy, crackery malt, light honey and floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Light body, moderate carbonation, clean dry light bitter finish. (3/5)
Decent pils. Does pretty much everything right: pleasant bright straw colour, bright grassy hops with just a hint of floral honey, low sweetness and a clean and crisp finish. While every aspect of this is on the light side (colour, aroma, flavour, and body) that doesn’t necessarily represent a failure for the style, and it ultimately comes across as very easy-drinking, thirst-quenching and refreshing. (13/20)
