Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company Trauger Pils

**Aroma:** “The floral hops character hits in the front, and malt bread-like sweetness sits in the back of nose. The Pilsner sulfur character dominates, and it’s almost minerally in that respect. Flowery hops character is medium-low, woody, and spicy, and blends in throughout.” **Flavor:** “Light-bodied but balanced well and slightly creamy. The hops are not overly bitter but provide some nice spice to break up the malt biscuit sweetness. Very clean and dry finish.” **Overall:** “Refreshing Pilsner with a nice balance that’s very enjoyable and drinkable. With the crisp hops flavors and light citrus tartness in the background, it makes me want to take another sip.”

__Aroma:__ “Complex orange aroma, ranging from fresh-squeezed juice to bright zest to deep pith. Hops aromas are complementary, lending spice, peppercorn, resin, and a bit of dorm-room haze. Lightly toasted malt in the background, with honey, floral, and sweet notes.” __Flavor:__ “Intense orange flavors, with some incredible depth, bringing in flavors from the entire fruit, yet managing not to dominate. The thick, dank hops flavor adds a nice blend of bitterness and citrus. The dry malt character adds sweetness and some honey at the finish.” __Overall:__ “Enjoyable, lively, and full-flavored, with a great balance of fruit, hops, and malt. The beer doesn’t disappoint in delivering the orchard to your mouth. The blend of orange- blossom honey and zest is great, and the way they used the entire fruit, without letting it dominate the beer, is excellent.”

**Aroma:** “Strong cotton candy and bubblegum, very sweet, with a strong floral—almost soap-like—note on the nose. Some sweet biscuit malt character and slight orange creamsicle and lemon citrus notes. Low earthy, sulfur hops notes.” **Flavor:** “Very sweet up front, but fades to super bitter and is champagne-like on the finish. The same bubblegum and cotton candy tones linger throughout, but are lost in the bitterness at times. Malt almost balances the spicy bitterness of the hops and is slightly sweet.” **Overall:** “A decent Pilsner offering, although the malt and hops are somewhat unbalanced. It’s a solid, refreshing German-style Pilsner.”
