12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA.
In summary I was very surprised at how “macro” like this was. There were very large corn and vegetal notes in both the nose and the tastes, and a really distinct lack of sharp, crisp hop notes.
The lack of Saaz crispness and the lack of cleanliness are big problems when it comes to a PIls beer, and to be honest this was seriously lacking n both departments.
The pour and appearance were promising enough with a decent, if not huge head sitting on top of a golden yellow body. Good carbonation.
A pretty poor Pilsner and a beer that reminded me of macro lagers a little too much. It felt low quality.
