The Establishment Brewing Company Houseplants – Pilsner at 5% ABV (C$5.65 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 20-Oct-2025, acquired 13-Nov-2025, reviewed 16-Nov-2025)
Appearance: clear pale straw with one finger of fine white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: lemon zest, dank resin, grass. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, short moderate bitter finish. (4/5)
“Water Valley Saaz, Water Valley Cascade, Water Valley Chinook, YCH Cryo Fresh Simcoe” I don’t usually bother with Pilsners, but “fresh hop”, “West Coast”, and “The Establishment” are sufficient modifiers for me to consider it likely to be worthwhile. Was not disappointed, though purists might turn up their noses at it. Personally, I like the hoppy, grassy notes making it exactly what the label says. (16/20)
This will be my 6,261st unique Untappd check-in.
