12 oz single, from notes, many thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this beer. Label is slightly different to the one in the BA db where the words Pilsner Beer have simply become “Pilsner”. Notched as being bottle in Wk 1, May but no year given, assuming 2010.
The pour yields a beer that has a pilsner color (perhaps it’s a little more ‘yellow’), but unfortunately it comes with a slight haze that substantially detracts from the clarity. Not really what I’m looking for here, and it upsets the balance of the look. In addition the carbonation seems a little low to me, and the head and lace could both be much better.
Nose and tastes are both very disappointing. They add up to what is simply a non-offensive macro, adjunct lager and not much else. There’s no Saaz or Noble bitterness, and these is a lack of a clean edge. With those attributes missing, a beer that is supposed to be a genuine pilsner can drop off very quickly.
Weak, disappointing if at least NOT unpleasant.
