Evan's weekly choice: Nickel Brook Green Apple Pilsner
Look - 4 Smell - 4.25 Taste -2.75 Feel - 3 Overall - 3.25
Look - This pilsner was poured from a 473 ml can into a clear pint glass. When poured it has a crystal clear bright golden colour with about 2 fingers of bright white fluffy head that stays around for about 6 minutes. It shows signs of high carbonation throughout the beer. As the head starts to disappear, it leaves a nice lacing around the top of the beer.
Smell - Once you open the can of beer, you instantly get a strong scent of green apple. Even throughout the beer it is constantly dominated by the smell of green apple and sugar. It comes to the point where it is almost impossible to smell any of the beer qualities that people are used to.
Taste - The beer starts off very sweet. Then it is followed up by a kind of sour green apple taste that overtakes the sweetness. The taste is like a cross between a cider and a beer.
Feel - It has a very high carbonated feel that is followed up by a light body. It feels a bit watery when going down.
Overall - I didn't mind this beer but I found it to be a bit fruity in my opinion. I felt it was too sweet for me. Even though I do love cider, when I am drinking a beer, I prefer a less of a fruitier taste. This wouldn't be too bad if you were having one on a nice summers day on the deck but I do recommend only having 1 or 2.
