Tsingtao Brewing Co.
Pilsner

Category: Pilsner

Date Tasted:
Country: China
Alcohol: 4.2%
Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of dank, lemon pepper, green herbs, and plastic wrapper with a satiny, crisp, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, engaging, agreeable finish that shows accents of plastic, arugala, apple skins, and cracked hay. With its crisp bitterness and a dry finish, this Pilsner is serious, but need not be taken too seriously.

Beer Glass Pilsner Gold.jpg
Serve in a Pilsner Glass
Pilsners are pale to golden straw in color and range in alcohol from 4.5-6%. The hallmark of a fresh pilsner is a dense, white head. The alcohol levels must be such as to give a rounded mouthfeel. These beers are medium-bodied and are characterized by high carbonation and tangy Czech and German varieties of hops that impart floral aromas and a crisp, bitter finish. This style originated in Bohemia in the Czech Republic. German pilsner styles are similar, though often slightly lighter in body and color. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Pilsner Urquell, Paulaner Premium Pils, Brooklyn Brewery Brooklyn Pilsner and Victory Prima Pils.
