Reuben's Brews Apropils Italian Pilsner

What the brewers say

“Italian-style pilsner with notes of lemon zest, pear, white grape. Moderate bitterness.”

What our panel thought

“Subtle aroma of rosemary, hay, and white bread with some floral hop notes. Flavor sports a bready, almost biscuity, malt note, complemented by an earthy, fruit blossom–like hop character. Well-balanced bitterness. Hints of lemon zest and thyme linger into a medium dry finish.”

What our editors thought

“Refined light nose with subtle Noble floral and grassy notes. Similarly floral in the sip, with a gauzy sheen, balanced with just a hint of spiky herbal bitterness.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Twin Barns Brewing Company Itssamee! Italian Pilsner

“Grands Biscuit aroma with some white pepper and floral hop notes. Flavor is slightly grainy with hints of lilac and honeysuckle that linger into a long floral finish. Bitterness is a bit low for a pils, but still enjoyable.”

Chuckanut Brewery Chuckanut Italian Style Pilsner

Gorgeous yellow with a puffy white head that lingers. Slight honey graham cracker in the nose. Bright, crisp flavors with a slight hop bitterness to balance out the sweetness. Complex, classic spicy hop flavor. Finishes dry with a bit of a pucker, leaving you wanting more.

Blackbird Brewery Gorlami Italian Pilsner

“Soft floral, herbal, earthy hop aroma and flavor with a backing of bread and cracker. Crisp and light, almost tart on the finish. Hops add a drying astringency to the finish, but a pleasant soft sweetness backs it up.”
