Terrapin Beer Company Sound Czech Pils
What the brewers say
“Brewed with 100 percent Pilsner malt for exceptional crispness and accompanied by Czech and German hops for noble superiority, this traditional lager will make you stand up for an encore performance. Turn it up!”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Assertive earthy, musty, noble hops present, with some spice and light background sulfur. Hops aromas are balanced by a light malt sweetness in the back, along with some diacetyl, DMS, and acetaldehyde.”
Flavor: “Light and delicate, with some sweet light cracker-like notes that carry through. Herbal and floral hops add some unusual woody dankness and bitterness, as well as a lemon-like citrus complexity, without being overpowering. Perfectly fermented, with a fresh, clean, dry finish.”
Overall: “In keeping with a Czech Pils, this beer is slightly more balanced toward the malt, but is still deliciously refreshing and perfect after any summer activity. Nice flavor that’s clean and drinkable, balancing the unusual hops characters.”
