Heater Allen Pils

**Aroma:** “A prominent sulfur note surrounds all other aromas but is not unpleasant. Some light spice and floral characters, along with an earthy, woody hops aroma. A little musty, like a root cellar, along with some almost copper-like minerality.” **Flavor:** “A nice, delicate sweet biscuit malt profile that complements the hops bitterness. Some light minerality adds a bit of complexity that highlights the malt character, with some earthy and musty notes. The carbonation helps open up the hops, allowing the flavors to stay on the tongue with a crisp, welcoming feel.” **Overall:** “A well-crafted, well-executed beer that stays true to tradition while adding some small twists to keep it feeling new. Crisp and simple, with the blend of bitter and biscuit. Very pleasant to the palate and invites a second glass.”

**Aroma:** “Low fruity esters of citrus and peach, with some floral and spicy hops notes as it opens up. Some background sulfur and mineral notes, with slight biscuit and a malt sweetness that sits in the back.” **Flavor:** “The malt sweetness surprises on the taste and carries through to the finish. Biscuit and honey-like sweetness up front with some peach esters throughout and complementary orange and lemon. The hops provide a nice complexity of spice and earthy character, and the carbonation finishes clean and dry.” **Overall:** “A curious beer with some unique flavors. Leans more malty, but still light and refreshing. The aroma is less hoppy than expected, with the mineral notes. Despite the generous head, the carbonation level seems a touch less lively than desired. The lingering hops bitterness is refreshing, makes me want another sip.”

**Aroma:** “Faint noble hops aroma that’s more German than Saaz, probably due to the huge head that cuts down the aroma. Nice bready Pilsner malt that comes through just barely. Slight sulfur edge with some floral subtleties to remind you it’s a lager.” **Flavor:** “Much maltier than expected, although not really sweet—more in the Czech realm of Pilsners. Toasty and bready delicateness is restrained, with distinct sulfur tones and a nice hops bitterness that lingers.” **Overall:** “The bitterness builds as you drink it and balances well with the malt. A wonderfully subtle beer that is expertly and perfectly crafted.”
