Steam Whistle Pilsner

Evan's weekly choice: Steam Whistle Pilsner


Look - 3.75  Smell - 3.5   Taste - 3  Feel - 3  Overall - 3.5

Look - This pilsner was poured from a 341 ml green bottle into a clear pint glass. This pilsner pours a golden straw colour with about a thumb width of bright white head. The retention of the head stayed around for a bit but not too long leaving some lacing. This pilsner had light to medium carbonation.

Smell - This beer had a grainy smell with some grassy and citrus notes. Not a very strong scent but smells a bit like a spring day.

Taste - This beer has a crisp sweet taste to it. It lacks the bitterness that the standard pilsner offers.

Feel - It has a light to medium carbonated feel that creates a comfortable mouth feel that is followed by a light body.

Overall - I found that this pilsner was a bit too watery and sweet for my liking. Since this is Steam Whistles only beer, I had high expectations for this beer but it kind of disappointed me. I find that this is another good beer to enjoy on a beautiful sunny day either on a deck or patio because of its light body and watery taste.
