Urban Chestnut Brewing Company Stammtisch
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.”
