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.

Per usual, the Schell folks put out a good, not great, beer that is light in flavor and easy to drink. I can’t think of much to say about this offering, except that I prefer it to the typical domestic light beers. A little more body, a lot better flavor, and overall a more satisfying bottle of suds. A good balance of malt and hops. I will drink it again.
