What the brewers say

Balanced bitterness, a smooth and creamy malt texture, and a floral/spicy hop presence.

What our panel thought

Wonderful hop-driven nose, soft and herbal, with sweet malt notes. Moderate herbal bitterness, delicate, with an almost tea-like tannin. Bitter and crisp into a moderately dry finish. That bitterness builds, slightly resinous but not harsh. Nicely done. I'd neck it from the bottle.

What our editors thought

“In the nose and flavor, a hefty toast note of substantial malt, lightly sweet, with a gorgeously rounded herbal hops bitterness. Sweet but not flabby.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Wild Provisions Beer Project 14°P Czech-Style Dark Lager

The nose paints a picture of dark malt carrying a sack of figs, raisins, and caramel and a filigree of dark roast coffee. The flavor fills in some details—a roast-forward, bitter base, a touch of raisin, and bread crust. The roasty finish cuts that richer picture down to size. Tasty, but a little less roast would help.

Seedstock Brewery Czech Pilsner

Brilliantly clear pale gold. Spicy hop aroma; more subtle lemon-lime and herb notes mingle with sweet bread rolls. Light vegetal notes lurk. Light pilsner-malt sweetness integrated with spicy hop flavor; moderate bitterness helps dry out the finish. Leans soft, sweet, and doughy. Finishes clean.

Brick West Brewing Co. Brick West Pilsner

“Crisp, herbal, citrusy Noble hops draw one in with excitement. Medium bitterness, day-old tea bag (on the pleasant side) hop character, clean fermentation.”
