Lagered for 8 weeks. Brewed exclusively with pilsner malt & an outstanding crop of Bavarian grown Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops. Self Portrait is effortlessly smooth & balanced, showing a beautiful interplay of lightly toasted, bready malt & spicy, herbal hops.

Clear golden coloured body with a light white head, perhaps a centimetre or two at most with a good deal of bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of grass, light citrus, a dash of biscuity malt and some more sustainable hop elements that show some grass and very light perfume - they seem European, or at least fairly low in alpha acids. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal flavours at first then immediately showing the biscuity malt with some light subdued earthiness, but more of a crisp bite without too much grain. Aftertaste shows a moderate amount of citrus with some grapefruit bitterness, but more on the sweet side of oranges and light citrus fruits and finishing with some mild sweetness and not much else. Overall, a fairly well-supported and balanced Pils with some nice flavours that go well together, but are on the softer (hence safer) side of things without anything outlandish throughout, perhaps in a good way, but at least, very easy-drinking. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, given to me by the GM of the brewery, after a hockey game in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia in June 2019 - Thanks Erik!

Sampled at Snallygaster 2019. Poured a clear golden color with a small off-white head. Aroma was crisp, grassy notes. Lots of German hops, malts, pils yeast. Flavor was pleasant. Very nice and crisp stuff.

Good crisp pils. Copped a can of this and put it in my pocket open, spilled all over my shorts. Pours golden with good head. Mixes well with Hawaiian shorts. Crisp end. Good for style. Can at Snally.
