Schell’s Brewing – Pilsner
Posted By John on June 26th, 2009
Beer: Pilsner
Brewery: August Schell Brewing Co. in New Ulm, Minnesota
Reviewed: 24-Jun-09 on Episode 146
Appearance: Golden yellow with a white head.
Aroma: Sweet and roasted malt flavors.
Taste: Malt sweetness with noble hops undertones. Unfortunately the astringent flavors pulled away from what was otherwise enjoyable.
Mouthfeel: Light body with medium carbonation.
Aftertaste: The astringency lingered. This obscured the favorable flavors in teh aftertaste.
Overall: Admittedly we served this warmer than it probably should have been and will try it again in the future. If a beer needs to be served cold to disguise its flaws it doesn’t say much for the beer though.
Best enjoyed at: Some place very cold as to hide the astringency.

Schell’s Brewing – Pale Ale
Posted By John on June 26th, 2009
Beer: Pale Ale
Brewery: August Schell Brewing Co. in New Ulm, Minnesota
Reviewed: 24-Jun-09 on Episode 146
Appearance: Light copper in color with a white head.
Aroma: Citrusy grapefruit hops aroma with undertones of malty sweetness.
Taste: The hops came off a bit off in the flavor. There was a flavor with the hop character that didn’t seem to go with the grapefruit flavors that were present.
Mouthfeel: Light body with medium carbonation.
Aftertaste: Lingering grapefruit flavors
Overall: Fair is the word. Not horrible and not great.
Best enjoyed at: A bar were it is the only hoppy beer.
