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.
