Hop Butcher For the World Supreme Being

What the brewers say

“Saaz, Select, and Monroe-hopped pilsner.”

What our panel thought

“Cracker and bready malt up front; classic herbal, grassy Noble-hop profile. Slight sulfur gives the impression of freshness. Subdued flavor compared to the aroma, but more bready malt and herbal hops. Dry, low residual sweetness, maybe a touch thin. Very classic and well executed. Would be very approachable on a hot summer day.”

What our editors thought

“Softly sweet; a touch of sulfur and carbonic bite reinforce the pilsner character. Malt runs a bit light, but it’s subtle and sophisticated.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Goldfinger Brewing Company Pils

“Great clarity, fluffy white head. A touch of bready yeast on the nose; fresh hops, floral and herbal, a bit of sulfur. Firm, pleasantly bitter backbone, moderately grainy with an herbal, slightly spicy hop profile. Mild carbonation, light malt body. Well balanced. The dry, bitter, refreshing finish lingers.”

The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co Industry Pils

Light sulfur note complements the classic Noble hops—lightly toasted white bread in the background—creating a familiar and enjoyable nose. Light, crisp, clean body. Hop flavor is slightly too conservative, but the bitterness provides a foundation to hold through the finish. Crazy drinkable. Before you know it, you're ordering a second, or perhaps third...

Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project Flor D'Lees

**Aroma:** “Solid *Brett* aroma initially—woody, slight buttery notes. Tart, barnyard aroma notes up front. As it warms, there’s a slight fruitiness, similar to peach, or perhaps grapefruit. Touch of pineapple, light lemon, banana, and wheat.” **Flavor:** “Initial high tartness with a slight tea, herbal note that transitions into a smooth, creamy aftertaste. Hops bitterness is very low and doesn’t clash with sourness. Moderate citrus notes, similar to lime. As it warms the citrus becomes more grapefruit and lingers a bit in the aftertaste. Finishes dry with very little residual sweetness on the back of the tongue. Funk is more subtle in the flavor compared to the aroma. Aftertaste is medium lasting and is more herbal than anything.” **Overall:** “A very creative slightly herbal approach to sourness. Very enjoyable and drinkable—the secondary flavors of leather and earth are very subtle in this beer. Refreshing, crisp, and clean. Good with almost any food on a hot day. A solid sour that pleases the palate without overwhelming it.”
