Classic meets Chicago in our Pulaski Pils.
This crisp, light-bodied lager is brewed primarily with Pilsner malt, and just a kiss of Vienna, then lightly dry-hopped with Lórien hops (Indie Hops) for pleasant floral notes and touch of citrus. Together these ingredients create an exceedingly drinkable Pilsner, properly lagered for beer drinkers everywhere.

From Brewvana, canned August 8th 2022.
It pours a clear pale gold with a finger of foam, lacing is meager.
The smell is toasted malt, hops that are not vibrant for a dry hopped Pilsner. Age did that.
The taste has some dry hopped semblance for sure. Toasted malt is nice, the hops, though, have a sharpness to them that I don't favour. It's very dry with a fairly light body.
It was probably quite pleasing when it was fresh.

16 oz can purchased as a single at Bier Station in Kansas City, Missouri. Canned on 11/03/20 stamped on the bottom of the can. The pour is a clear straw yellow, golden with a bunch of carbonation bubbles building up a fluffy one inch white head that falls with nice lace. The aroma is fresh full grassy, soft herbal, toast cracker malt. The taste is clean grain, toasted cereal malt, with a dry floral, herbal hop and the grass to crisp finish. The palate is light to medium bodied, active carbonation and the clean crisp grassy soft mineral finish. Nicely made Pils.

Pint can from Binny's. I tried this in a long, narrow Stenge glass for Pilseners. This showed a golden beer, typical of a pale lager, with just a slight bit of haze, and a sudsy head. The smell is slightly peppery, with a slight note of sodium from soft water, and a bit of skunk. The taste is malty but dry, with some sharp pepper from the choice of hops. It's a standard 5.1% abv, and feels like it. I've had only a few imported Polish lagers that could be considered fresh, but they seemed to have a similar dryness and a bit of hop prickle. Maplewood's Pulaski comes close to that kind of taste.

Pour is a clear golden with a large bubbly white head. Aroma is a decent cracker malt with some nice spicy hops. Flavor is a super dry cracker malt with a nice eye opening spicy herbal hop. Maybe a little light in body but crushable for sure.
