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.

DeRushaJ says What The Schell, I liked it!

I must say, I’m not really a Pilsner guy, nor am I a Schell guy, so I had no idea what to expect. Except for the fact that anyone named August is pretty damn cool in my book.
So I really enjoyed this beer. It had great carbonation, a really light flavor with a hint of something. Maybe it’s a tad of sweetness? Beats me, but this beer went down real smooth. Like one of Eliot Spitzer’s babes. Real smooth. Was that offensive? I’m sorry.
