Broad Leaf Local Beer Cult Pils

What the brewers say

“Lands just outside German style and just inside Czech pale lager.”

What our panel thought

“Aroma is a balance of herbal hops and sulfur fermentation profile. Some spicy, peppery hop flavors ride through to the finish. Minimal malt flavor is lightly white bread and cracker. Perhaps a bit too much bitterness, but an enjoyable beer.”

What our editors thought

“Earthy herbal hop aroma with fresher green undertones that grow as it opens. Balances a bit toward the bitter side, as the lighter malt is drowned out by the loud hops.”

Broad Leaf Local Beer Chromatic Shatter

“The nose is an explosion of fruit perfume—tangerine, mango, with a touch of peach. The flavor shifts emphasis to mango/papaya, accompanied by a steady and persistent bitterness. Pleasant perfume note kicks back in on the retronasal with each swallow.”

Devils Backbone Gold Leaf

**Aroma:** “Honey, white grapes, floral hops, and light bread give this a champagne-like sweetness. Toasty malt with delicate hops that have a sulfur, spicy, and white pepper note, with very light pumpkin seed.” **Flavor:** “The light cracker maltiness with a hint of honey is sweet, but not too sweet. The hops are floral, earthy, herbal, and spicy, and the bitterness drops off at the end. Nice, dry, and clean at the finish.” **Overall:** “Enjoyable and refreshing, this beer is clean and crisp and flows well throughout the taste. The bitterness and carbonation play off each other to create an almost harsh taste at the beginning, before it diminishes very quickly after the sip. A bit more body with balance would make this beer more enjoyable.”

The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co Industry Pils

Light sulfur note complements the classic Noble hops—lightly toasted white bread in the background—creating a familiar and enjoyable nose. Light, crisp, clean body. Hop flavor is slightly too conservative, but the bitterness provides a foundation to hold through the finish. Crazy drinkable. Before you know it, you're ordering a second, or perhaps third...
