Great Lakes Turntable Pils

__Aroma:__ “Big orange, nectarine, and lemon, with tropical fruits, pineapple, and mango—verges back and forth between candied fruit/creamsicle and a fresh tropical buffet. An earthy dankness emerges, adding a nice layer of complexity. The hops bitterness lingers.” __Flavor:__ “Grapefruit, orange peel, and citrus hops flavors with a subtle amount of dank hops. Juicy hops dominate with just enough sweet malt to balance. The fruity hops punch becomes more complex the longer it sits on the tongue. Lighter body than expected but the body grew as it warmed. Finishes with a moderate bitterness of dank hops, and the dryness makes for a crushable beer.” __Overall:__ “Very easy drinking—makes you want more after each sip. The slight lingering sweetness on the finish is clipped off by the bitterness before it becomes distracting, and the bitterness lingers for quite a while after the sip. A deft use of hops that doesn’t abuse the palate so much that you’re wrecked for another pint (or two).”

Aroma: “Sweet biscuit and bready malt play a supporting role. Moderate fruity floral and tropical hops aromas with a slight sweet spice, almost marmalade-like.” Flavor: “More malt character than most Pilsners, with a prominent biscuit note and a touch of bread crust. Hops bitterness is pronounced and lingers, which mutes any hops flavors, but some pine and cattiness come through. Finish is slightly sweet and malty for the style, but there’s also a grainy bite to balance.” Overall: “Clean and easy-drinking, fairly well-balanced beer. Enough sweet malt aspects and floral/spicy hops characteristics to satisfy either end of the palate perspective.”

Aroma: “Moderate Pils malt sweetness with a touch of sulfur. Very subtle floral and herbal hops with a touch of noble spice, a touch of malt breadiness. More Pils malt on retronasal. Light sulfur as it warms. Overall, somewhat muted.” Flavor: “Clean Pils malt throughout. Falls slightly sweet on the palate, but the finish is crisp and carries enough bitterness to cut through. Floral and spicy hops notes play well with the malt and bring a nice complexity. Finishes fairly dry with a slight grain-husk tannic bitterness.” Overall: “Nice beer, although a touch sweet for some. Easy drinking. A more aggressively hopped Pilsner that isn’t shy about what it’s trying to do with highlighting the spicy and floral hops.”
