Three Taverns Brewery Prince of Pilsen

Aroma: “Citrus and pineapple. Rich tropical fruit–forward hops (mango and lychee) with hints of pepper. Some bread-like malt sweetness sits in the back.” Flavor: “Light fruit and candy sugar up front, though not particularly sweet on the finish. There’s a nice lingering cracker dryness. And it’s slightly chewy. Tropical-fruit hops character comes across again, but balances nicely with the underlying beer. Not much bitterness, lingering fruity, earthy hops character.” Overall: “Not your grandpappy’s Pils. Hazy IPA meets Pilsner: The hops are showcased with nice fruity notes of tropical fruit and citrus; the malt backbone is light and clean. It’s an interesting idea and fairly well executed. Tasty, refreshing, and certainly distinctive.”

“Defined with light grain and a bit of tartness on the finish. Starts with a very light bready malt nose and low floral hops. Floating airy body, slight mineral aftertaste, and an urgent finish. Well made, in a very light footprint. Approaches the lawnmower ideal—pleasant for the average drinker, but with enough structure to make anyone happy.”

“Hazy for style, with an uncommon touch of acid in the finish. Aroma is ripe stone fruit—apricots and peaches—with moderate tropical guava and mango, plus hints of papaya. Light dank sulfur. Flavor echoes nose, with overripe peach and guava, flowery orange zest, light lime note. Cotton candy–sweet finish.”
