Persephone Brewing Company Amarillo Pilsner Czech Pilsener at 5% ABV | 25 IBU (C$9.49 at Oak & Vine, 650 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 22-Aug-2017, reviewed 26-Aug-2017)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale straw with one finger of rocky white head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: lemon, peach, crackery pale malt, grass. (8/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, crisp lightly bitter finish. (4/5)
My kind of Pilsener: dominated by bright lemony hops, with a clean crackery malt backbone, and fruity peach in the bitter finish. Not a whole lot more to say here: this is right up there in the top five or six Pilseners I’ve had. Worth trying if you can find it, but it looks like it might be a one-off from early July, so chop chop! (16/20)
