Troegs Sunshine Pils - Friday Beer O'Clock Selection 5-13-2011
This week's selection brings another brew from the Troegs Brothers. The Hop Back and Nugget Nectar put Troegs on the charts for me and I'm hoping this week, their Sunshine Pils will not disappoint. I'm a little short on time this week, so I'll keep this one short.
Appearance: poured into a pilsner with a clear golden color forming a decent 2-3 finger head that slowly reduced to a thick consistent coat across the surface right up the the edges and collar. Color is very light and super clear displaying a good amount of bubbling action.
Aroma: grassy lemon zest, straw and fresh earthy hops.
Taste: Surprising hop bite (then again, it is Troegs so should be expected). Light malt and bready taste in front that gives way to a lemon zest, sourish, bitter hop finish. That might not sound so appealing, it actually works pretty well here for me.
Feel: Crisp, clean, refreshing and light.
Drinkability: This is an ideal brew for a summer day. Great feel and good taste provide a nice refreshing brew here.
There it is! Keeping it short wasn't difficult after all. To me, this is a pretty straight forward brew. Not big on complexity but just as good.
