Schell Pilsner
March 10th thru March 16th
Brewer's Description
A shining example of the true European Pilsner style beer, Schell's Pilsner is brewed with 100 percent barley malt, where the imported German Hallertau hops flavor is showcased. Its full hop characteristic and delicate aroma were developed in Pilsen, Bohemia around 1840. This style was widely copied by early American breweries. Over the years, however, it has been lost to the much lighter-bodied, low-hopped relatives we refer to as American "Premium" beer.

I have fallen behind in my reviews, I’m going to start catching up right now.
I liked Schell’s Pilsner more than I thought I would. I view pilsners as just bland, lighter beers, but this one actually had a pretty good taste to it. A good beer if you want to want to drink several, but can’t bring yourself to drink Miller Lite.
