Perennial Pils

What the brewers say

“Pils is our dry-hopped, unfiltered lager created with 100 percent German malt and Tettnang and Saphir hops in the kettle and fermentor. Spicy noble hops character over sweet Pilsner malt. Pepper, lemon ice, black tea. Brewed for our friends at EdgeWild and shared in our tasting room.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Big citrus hops aroma. Spicy with an earthy foundation. Light sulfur notes. Mild crackery malt is hard to qualify beyond a light sweetness that drives into pear and peach notes.”

Flavor: “Big spicy piney hops flavors at first bring a wash of medium bitterness afterward. There’s a malt body with light bready or saltine-cracker flavor.”

Overall: “This aims to be a German Pilsner but has that American hops aesthetic with a Pils character that comes through clearly. It’s a great break from hoppy ales.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Perennial Artisan Ales Pils

Aroma is half bready malt and half grassy hops. The yeasty character and sulfur note is more prominent than most. Low sweetness and bitterness. There's a hint of acidity that, with the relatively light body and dry finish, makes for a fairly drinkable beer despite being a bit rough around the edges.

Breakside Brewery India Golden Ale

__Aroma:__ “Bright hops flavors with a healthy amount of mango, Thai basil, pine, grapefruit, and even a light anise character. I have a strong desire for curry after smelling this beer.” __Flavor:__ “Amazing unique and intense hops flavors that continue to display the Thai basil flavors from the aroma, coupled with a more pronounced fruity character of mango, pineapple, and grapefruit. A nice, light malt sweetness pairs perfectly with a prominent bitterness that adds to the herbal spice character. Dangerously dry.” __Overall:__ “Simultaneously one of the most unique and tasty big IPAs I’ve enjoyed in a long time. The unique hops profile coupled with a delicious base beer is wonderful.”

Perennial Artisan Ales On y Va

Aroma: “Orange, lemon, and tangerine with some herbal green tea and peppery phenolics. Light bready malt in the background.” Flavor: “Foreground is a light spicy saison character: earthy, herbal, lemon, stone fruit, grainy malt, spicy phenolics of clove and pepper. Hops come through as a citrus background. Finishes very dry and crisp.” Overall: “Traditional dry-hopped fruity and slightly tart saison with a light, dry finish. The hops are subtle and dovetail with the yeast nicely.”
