Counter Weight Brewing Company Counter Weight's Workhorse Pilsner
"Loads of Noble hop character with a lovely sulfur character as expected in German-style pils, however...the quality of the hop character itself is perhaps not in its finest form. Pleasant cracker and bread notes in the aroma blend well with perfume and lightly grassy hop notes. The lightly sweet, almost corn-like malt body is nicely balanced by a clean, floral bitterness creating a snappy and refreshing sip. Fermentation is squeaky clean and well-lagered but that sorta-Noble, sorta-not-Noble hop note raises questions. The finish is lightly bitter creating a nice cripsness that, despite needing just a touch more carbonic bite, sets things up well for the next sip."
