The Establishment Brewing Company Part-Time Model – Pilsener at 5.2% ABV (C$4.27 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 7-May-2020, reviewed 11-May-2020)
Appearance: bright clear straw with one fat finger of loose white head, good retention and moderate chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: berry & melon, bready malt, citrus, grass. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter, light spice. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry medium duration lightly spicy finish. (4/5)
Really solid Pils – ANZ-style hops lead the way, with a clean malt supporting and a little grass and citrus in the back end. I’m told it’s got Nelson Sauvin and Citra, and that’s pretty much what I’m getting, with gooseberry/melon and mild citrus. Clean, bright, easy-drinking and refreshing – if all Pilsners were like this, I’d probably drink a lot more of them! (16/20)
