441. Harpoon Bohemian Pilsner (100 Barrel Series #15)
I made my weekly stop by Downtown Wine & Spirits tonight. They had Harpoon's latest 100 Barrel offering, a Bohemian Pilsner, which sounded like it would hit the spot. Other purchases include Smuttynose Big A IPA, Southampton Grand Cru, and Allagash 11th Anniversary Ale. I served this chilled in my UFO Weizen glass (I desperately need a good Pilsner glass).
Beer Stats:
Brewery: Harpoon Brewery
Alcohol: 4.70%
Serving: Bottle, 22 oz.
Style: Czech Pilsener, BJCP Style Guide
Appearance (4.0): Pours a crystal clear, straw golden with a fluffy white head that fades to a persistent, thin layer leaving nice lace.
Smell (3.5): Malty sweetness, perhaps hints of apple, crisp grain and a light hoppiness.
Taste (3.5): Malty sweetness upfront, husky grain in the center, followed by a nice hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel (4.0): Light-bodied, crisp and dry.
Drinkability (4.5): Refreshing and well-balanced, very easy to drink.
Overall (3.75): A very drinkable pilsner. It's good, but not overwhelming.
