Description
Penn Brewery began brewing craft beer back in 1986, making us one of the earliest pioneers in the American craft movement. We started out brewing classic lagers and German beer styles, adhering to the strict quality standards of the 16th-century Bavarian Reinheitsgebot purity laws. As we’ve expanded our lineup in recent years to include IPAs and other contemporary styles like chocolate and pumpkin beers, we’ve stayed true to our quality craftsmanship, brewing all of our beers by hand with top-tier barley and hops. We’re proud to say that Penn beers have won a total of twenty Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® medals.

A dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with nice hoppy notes. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, as well as lighter notes of hops. OK, but hoppier than Your usual Märzen.

A dark brown beer with a fast disappearing dark beige head. The aroma is sweet and very malty, but also with strong notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of straw and hints of alcohol.

On draught at Heinz Field. Amber color with a medium thin beige head with decent retention. Cannot comment on lacing as it was a plastic cup. Lightly malty aroma. Medium-bodied and sweet with malt and caramel flavors. There is a touch of hops character too. The finish is mostly sweet but has touches of bitterness here and there. Pretty average all around.

Cloudy yellow color with weak white head. Medium sweet and wheat aroma. High carbonation. The flavor is at first sweet then wheat malts and lemon. Nice yeast influence too.

Clear copper to orange color with white head. Aroma of malt and a bit of noble hops. Nice malt flavor and I detect a grapefruit note as well both sweet and sour. Very nice Pilsner.

Amber pour with a light head. Flavor is fairly reminiscent of a Molson Canadian with a bit more balance and malt body. Sweetish character with malt goes nice and is a departure from what I expected in a Pils.

Smells like yeast and lemons - tastes like bananas and band-aids - not much else to say.

Amber color. Some malt and cereals aroma. Medium mouthfeel, little residual sweetness along with malt and cereals, ordinary bitterness. Boring for me.
