Brau Brothers Pils Lager

I so totally enjoyed Brau Brothers’ Whirly Bird Oatmeal Stout that today I picked up several more of their beers, and this first one, picked at random from my fridge, is their Pilsner Lager.

Popping the cap, I get the crisp smell of sharp hops and light maltiness.  Smells good.  Made my mouth water!

I tip it up to my mouth and take that first sip…

Citrusy.  Smooth.  Hoppy.  Complex, especially for a pilsner, with a medium effervescence that tingles at first, but then leaves your mouth clean with a lingering light bitterness that says … "Excuse me, you need to drink some more."

I’m happy to oblige.

And then at the end I find I wish I’d bought a pack instead of a single.  Good stuff, this brew.  Groovy.  Not quite a Holy Beer, but very drinkable.  I could easily enjoy something like this all evening.
