Unsung Brewing Vater Von Pils

What the brewers say

“Clean cracker malt and crisp carbonation with slight spice from Saaz hops.”

What our panel thought

“Strong, classic hop aromatics: fennel, lemongrass, sage. Sticky bread dough. Hop character dominates palate from start to finish. Sticky bread dough peeks through as waves of herbs and earth sweep over. Tastes like it didn’t finish fermenting; could be drier. Bitterness lingers. Lacks depth.”

What our editors thought

“Soft citrus and zesty sweetness in the nose. The sip is mildly grainy with medium bitterness that trades personality for accessibility.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Uhl’s Brewing Co Raspricot Shleemies

“Deep pink pour. Brilliant citrus-hop nose with a soft honey note. Full body, with citrus-tropical hop juice shining all the way with a raspberry touch. Intriguing blend of hops and fruit. Pleasant acidity.”

Lawson's Finest Liquids Aged Winter Lager

“Dark roast with licorice and chocolate, plus an orange blossom–honey note. Spicy on the tongue, enhanced by strong alcohol notes. Light black pepper notes and some evergreen notes add beautiful distinctive highlights.”

Maplewood Pulaski Pils

Aroma: “Rising pizza dough, noble hops character—sweet, light floral, and earthy, wet forest. Low sulfur.” Flavor: “Delicate malt flavors, light matzo-cracker notes, sweet biscuit and bread flavors that are cut through by moderate floral hops bitterness. Low sulfur, as on aroma. Slight lemon flavor that grows through the finish. Bitterness doesn’t linger.” Overall: “A clean, easy-drinking beer with a really nice finish. The carbonation is spot on. Perfectly crisp and balanced. This beer is nuanced enough that it could be dissected and over analyzed but is good enough just to be enjoyed. Nice job!”
