Noble Pils is one of several versions of a Bohemian, or Czech-style Pilsner, that we make. It has been a popular draft mainstay at our Slabtown pub for the last few years, and we’re excited to scale it up!
Beer style mavens beware: this beer takes its cues in terms of body.
ABV and water profile from the fuller ‘export’ lagers that were common to western Germany, but the hop character comes direct from the Czech tradition. Noble Pils combines the malt richness of a Munich Helles with the hop intensity of Pilsner, it has a distinct minerality and roundness that add nuance to each sip.

16 oz. can, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Nose is full of bright grassy hops, herbaceous notes, maybe a touch of spicy Saaz, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is herbaceous and slightly spicy in the hop department, indeed seeming more like a helles-influenced Czech pils, with plenty of grassiness and herbaceousness, and a crisp biscuity malt. Bright, clean, well-hopped. Very good, but not an elite Czech pils.

16 oz can poured. Crystal clear shiny golden pour. Nice grassy hop influence on the nose. Soft mineral. Cool and crisp flavor, with a nice balance of straw and grass. Sharp finish with a flavorful palate. Nice hop profile here. Enjoyable pils.

Sampled from the tap at the Slabtown location. Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is straw forward with growing hay and grass notes. Flavor has lots of hay with some earthy grass and a bit of straw underlying.

Can. Very traditional nose, spicy, herbal hops, crackery malt. Bright golden color. Sweet malt flavor, biscuits, bread, herbal hops, spicy, lemony finish with medium to strongish bitterness. Crisp and solid. A very enjoyable pilsner. Would have guess it was European.

Breakside Noble Pilsner Seasonal Lager 5.6% It has a soft herbal hop bouquet with sweet fresh grain. Quite full bodied with a smooth round carbonation I quite enjoy. Very crisp and quenchable pils. Really enjoying this.
