What the brewers say

“A traditional German Pilsner featuring a blend of Hallertau and Strisselspalt hops, and we think it’s the perfect accompaniment to any friendly gathering. Help us make it a ‘regular’ around here!”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Clean with some sulfur tones. Subtle and delicate floral tones mix with some citrus and noble spice for a nontraditional combination. Very light malt and sulfur aromas, and some more dank hops flavors emerge as it warms.”

Flavor: “Delicate sulfur tones, with just enough biscuit malt to soften the edges of the spice and pine hops bitterness. The bitterness lingers without overdoing it, but sits on the tongue a bit too long.”

Overall: “Intense adventurous hops flavors that would give pause to the traditionalist, but still deserves its place at the table for an ever-evolving beer consumer. The balance of the bitterness and malt creates a crispness that is welcoming and encourages a second glass.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Urban Chestnut Brewing Company Schnickelfritz

“Light bready aroma with lemongrass and low pepper chiming in. Light lime notes join a moderate bready flavor, with coriander-like spice that lingers. As the beer warms, a moderate banana ester balances the citrus notes while the spice accentuates the dryness and masks the malt profile.”

Urban Chestnut Brewing Zwickel

“Clear golden pour, soft white head. Floral, spicy hop notes—a splash of lemon—combine with soft-cracker malt in aroma. Lively body. Toast-like malt sweetness presents early; pronounced yet soft bitterness marries smooth, soft bready malt. Well-balanced finish.”

Breakside Brewery Liquid Sunshine Pilsner

**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.”
