The Beers of California

#4

Freshness Date: None

A: Pours pis yellow, mostly transparent, with a finger of effervescent white foam.

S: The nose is of earth along with a significant component of grassy herbalness.

T: Strong elements of earth which is suggested by the nose. The malt is light, consisting of crackers, grain and hints of hay. The hops impart floral, herbal, and grassy flavors to the beer along with hints of orange rind ending with a mild bitter, spicy finish.

M: Crisp and light in the mouth with moderate to high prickling carbonation.

O: A descent take on the pilsner style although overall this brew falls short. A refreshing drink for a warm day.

A- Nice labeling, poured into pint glass where it had a light head to accompany the light amber/golden color
S- I'm still trying to refine my sense of smell when it comes to beers. I thought I was smelling some sort of grain, like wheat, barley?
T- Had a nice mix of sour/bitter taste, I tasted something similar to grapes.
M- It had a lingering bite, wasn't unpleasant.
O- I'm glad I tried this beer, I'm still exploring different pilsners, so this was on my list. I'd buy it again, but I'm still searching for the pilsner that will be my "goto".
