Noon Whistle Brewing Co. Bruski – Czech Pilsner at 4.6% ABV (2023 Craft Beer Advent Calendar #10, 355 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 14-Dec-2023, reviewed 18-Dec-2023)
Appearance: clear pale amber with one fat finger of rocky ivory head, good retention and spotty chunky lacing. (5/5) Aroma: caramel and toasted malt, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet tending high, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, slightly sticky short duration finish. (3/5)
I was ready to be pretty dismissive of this, figuring it would be right up there with “Beer” beer. But, for what it is, it’s not bad. It’s all about the toasty malt notes, with only a mild grassy hoppiness (Saaz?) but it’s a reasonably well-balanced implementation. A definite lawnmower beer, but sometimes that fits the bill. (14/20)
This will be my 5,707th unique Untappd check-in.
