Mash Lab Brewing Crispy Boi Pilsner

What the brewers say

N/A

What our panel thought

“Initial sulfur character, but not out of place. Water cracker, Noble hops. Hop bitterness is a touch low; malt sweetness a touch high. A little on the watery side; could use just a little more body. Clean. Soft. Needs more bitterness.”

What our editors thought

“Light earthy lemon zest on the nose with a touch of sulfur. An extremely light malt character borders on Mexican-style lager, with just enough hops bitterness to call it a pilsner. More defined by its negative space (what it isn’t) than by what it is.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Drake's Brewing Co. Crispy Boi Lager

“Super-dank nose; bright citrus. Big burst of flavor; clean pale malt provides a honey-like base for resinous hops to play. Fades fast and dry. Somewhat one dimensional—but quite a good dimension.”

Uhl’s Brewing Co Raspricot Shleemies

“Deep pink pour. Brilliant citrus-hop nose with a soft honey note. Full body, with citrus-tropical hop juice shining all the way with a raspberry touch. Intriguing blend of hops and fruit. Pleasant acidity.”

5:00 O'Clock Afternoon Ale Renegade Brewing

Aroma: “Largely neutral. Sweet corn-like malt mingles with slight floral and sweet soapy hops aromas. All are very subtle and restrained.” Flavor: “Simultaneously sweet and bitter all the way through, notes of flowers and candied apples, herbal hops, and a mineral characteristic. Clean fermentation highlights dry malt and crisp hops bitterness. Finishes very dry.” Overall: “Light and neutral. With so much going on, it comes across as muddled rather than complex. Yet, the crisp hops bitterness has no trace of harsh edges.”
