The Establishment Brewing Company Ocean View – Pilsner at 5.8% ABV (C$4.86 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 3-Jul-2024, acquired 23-Aug-2024, reviewed 28-Aug-2024)
Appearance: slightly chill-hazed pale straw with one fat finger of fine white head, excellent retention and spotty soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grass, floral/pine, hints of citrus and tropical fruits. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: light body, lively carbonation, off-dry short duration crisp finish. (4/5)
Unofficial sources indicate this is hopped with Saaz, Strata, Motueka, Citra, and Idaho 7. Definitely getting both traditional Czech notes and New World hop aromas, but it’s not quite as bright as I’d like. On the other hand, it’s completely crushable. Decent, but definitely not the top end for this brewer. (15/20)
This will be my 5,919th unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
