Cerveza Pacifico Clara
Beer-a-Day #157
My wife and I had some friends over this evening. With our two kinds of salsa we had salmon cooked on the grill with lemon, vinegar, and cilantro. A light, Mexican beer seemed an appropriate accompaniment. Pacifico fit the bill nicely.
Pale straw with one finger of white head. Little aroma and very, very light taste. If you like Corona Extra this would be a good alternative.

Warsteiner Premium Verum

Beer-a-Day #320 A world class traditional pilsner, Warsteiner Premium Verum is a slightly pale German-style pilsner with a clean, crisp, refreshing import taste. Warsteiner is brewed with fresh Arnsberger Forest spring water sourced at the brewery in Warstein, Germany, naturally soft water that helps to create the smooth taste and thick creamy head. Warsteiner truly
Brewer’s Alley Pilsner

Beer-a-Day #307 A very pale beer brewed as a lager and which has a crisp, assertive Czechoslovakian Saaz hop character. This beer took 6 weeks to produce because the strain of yeast we used has a slow and cold fermentation, which results in a very smooth beer. 4.3% alcohol by volume. This was the first
Oskar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils

Beer-a-Day #294 Our new canned good is a delicious, small-batch version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czechoslovakia famous. Mama’s is made with hearty amounts of pale malt, German specialty malts, and traditional (Saaz) and 21st century Bavarian hops. It’s the perfect antidote for the watered-down, cornfed versions of pilsner clogging America’s shelves. Our first
Beck’s Pilsner

Beer-a-Day #228 Made from the original 1873 recipe, our signature brew has a full-bodied taste, hoppy bouquet, golden color and rich full head. Your tasting notes might say something like “a slightly fruity but crisp firmness – ends with a clean dry finish,” but most people simply say, “Now that’s a Beck’s.” I am a
Negra Modelo

Beer-a-Day #211 I love the funky bottles Grupo Modelo uses. The label simply says “Dark Beer”, but multiple sources online call it a Munich dunkel. I usually only get to have it out at a Mexican restaurant. Dark brown with a nice head. Caramel and maybe a little fruit (peaches?) in the aroma. Body is
North Coast Scrimshaw

Beer-a-Day #182 Halfway through the year, and I’ve just about exhausted the selection at my favorite retailer. I’ve taken to shopping with a list of things I shouldn’t get. Named for the delicate engravings popularized by 19th century seafarers, Scrimshaw is a fresh tasting Pilsner brewed in the finest European tradition using Munich malt and,

Beer-a-Day #136 Pale, pale yellow. White head. Aroma is very light, as is the flavor. I’d have it again.

Brooklyn Pilsner

Beer-a-Day #131 Another “rule breaker” but what the hell. Pale straw; white head. Slightly floral aroma. Light and refreshing, with a slightly fruity essence. As I’ve said before, this is the beer those not-really-American beer giants wish they brewed.

Smoky Mountain Thunder Road Pilsner
about 1 year ago - No comments
Beer-a-Day #108 This is the third Smoky Mountain Brewery beer brought to me by my good friend Ellen. The label proclaims it a “Classic Bohemian Pilsner”. Straw-colored; a finger’s worth of white head. A little sulfur in the aroma, but malty. A bit of bite in the taste, but refreshing. submit_url = ‘http://hop-talk.com/2009/04/18/smoky-mountain-thunder-road-pilsner/’; Related Posts:Smoky
Rogue Morimoto Imperial Pilsner

Sometimes I just have to try a beer based on the packaging. Morimoto Imperial Pilsner from Rogue is onesuch. It comes in a lovely, resealable ceramic bottle. Add to that my eldest daughter is really getting into all things Japanese and urged me to buy it. It also turns out to have been on Ron’s
