Karlsberg Brauerei Becker’s Pils Pilsener at 4.9% ABV (C$2.99 at Quarry Park Calgary Co-Op, 500 ml, best before 31-Jul-2017, acquired 13-Oct-2016, reviewed 13-Oct-2016)
Appearance: clear pale straw with one finger of rocky white head, good retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: pale malt, grassy, light citrus, hint of sulphur. (4/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (4/10) Palate: light body, crisp lightly bitter finish. (3/5)
Uh-oh. “Premium” on the label, as well as “Reinheitsgebot”? Danger! But, actually, I guess it’s fine for what it is. No major off flavours on the nose or the tongue (although there is a hint of almost metallic sulphur as it warms) and it finishes fairly clean and crisp. I was thirsty, now I’m not. Job done. (10/20)
