Pils

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts sweet-malty, but also quite dry in the background. Spicy notes quite unbalanced. Finish moldy. Not my favourite.

Draught at BBF12. Mild hay aroma. Clear yellow colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is mildly hayish with a bit of malt and a good mild grassy hop note.

Herber, eher dunkler Beginn mit geringen Hopfennoten. Trocken herb, süßlich werdend. Zum Ende nochmal getreidig. In Ordnung. 12/10/9/7//8

Very surprised to see this Pilsner (and its Dunkel sister) on tap in the Greenwich Union: the Meantime Brewery tap house: Oct 2011. Reason being, I’d never heard of the brewery before. Had a half pint just to review it on here. This is one of the better Pilsner beers I’ve had and was certainly an improvement on the London Lager and Helles that Meantime had up against it on tap in their bar. This oozed classic Pilsner: the colour, smell, body and overall feel of it just seemed right. Served well and at a good chilled temp it slipped down far too well. I’ll not go into great detail (I only had a half don’t forget and I was on a mission to try a few brews that day), but this is well worth finding and trying if you get the chance.

bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, grass. Flavour is malt, fruit, citrus, hop, grass. OK beer.

Bottle. Late to notice the best before date of November 12, 2010. Oops. Pours with a large and fully retentive white head over a straw yellow body. The head leaves good lace. At cold temperatures there is a bit of chill haze which fades as it warms a bit. Aromas are bready and grainy with a light floral hop character. A bit grassy as well. No esters, clean fermentation. Light oxidation in the form of a mild cardboard character. Light spicy hops. Flavors are balanced towards bitterness with a hint of oxidation. A light grassy hop flavor remains, and lasts through the finish that is firmly bitter. Clean fermentation and crisp. Bready and grainy pilsner malt character. Lively bubbles with a light body. Lingering hop bitterness. No warmth, or alcohol presence. Crisp. Probably not in the best of condition (age wise).

Bottle 500ml.Clear medium orange yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, light to moderate hoppy, grass. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, green grass. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110318]

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a small white head. Lovely hoppyness with pinecones and some citrus peel. Some maltyness in the back. Pleasant hoppyness in the flavor, both citrus and pine cones, some grass too. Not much maltyness, but some in the back. Medium body. The finish is too short, but a nice beer it is, drinking easily. 110318
