Societe The Heiress

What the brewers say

“The Heiress is our take on a classic Bohemian Pilsner. Refreshing and effervescent with a snow-white head, it’s earthy and floral with a clean, bitter finish. It’s the perfect beer for fans of traditional Pilsners and for converting people whose only reference points for Pilsners are the adjunct versions sold twenty-four to a box.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Big bready malt, fresh ground Pilsner malt with some rich toasty notes mixed in. No discernable hops aroma, however.”

Flavor: “A firm bitterness lingers pleasantly throughout. Moderate malt, bready and toasty. Fairly light on the hops flavor. The hops bitterness is a bit pronounced for the style, but it balances the sweetness.”

Overall: “Nice balance of the sweetness and bitterness. A little more hops flavor would be nice, but it’s drinkable and traditional.”
