Coney Island Mermaid Pilsener

Review #2400.

16oz pint, on tap at Taco Mac, Woodstock, GA, USA.

Golden pour that produces some nice lace despite the head fading fairly fast. Carbonation is medium.

Nose delivers an unusual combination of a decent Pils-like bite of hops, but also a sweet background to the beer.

The sweetness is the thing that stays with me which would normally make me a little unhappy, but the fact that there IS a decent dose of hop bitterness too, helps me to enjoy this beer a little more than I thought I might. Then sweetness comes with a touch of fruit, a bit like some peach infused soda.

Smooth in the mouth, the carbonation seems just right.

A simple beer that doesn’t really encapsulate a typical German Pils, but it is drinkable and an excellent offering to open up some eyes for crossover potential.
