With the holidays upon us, I decided to kick the blog off with a Christmas Eve beer review. I'll be reviewing a local: Lakefront Brewery's Klisch Pilsner.
(picture on the way)
I'm not necessarily your typical beer reviewer. The first thing that I notice about a beer comes before I even buy it. Because of the display we're working on, I take notice of the appearance of a bottle first. In my opinion, Klisch is pretty nice. It's not the coolest I've ever seen, but I've always liked the look and colors of Lakefront's bottles. I like the unique art on different styles (as opposed to the standard "company logo with a different color label" that a lot of beers do).
The first thing I do after opening the bottle is pour most of it into the glass. My pour revealed a medium golden color with a small head. The head stayed longer than I expected, considering how thin it was. It didn't leave any noticeable lacing.
The beer smells sweet and light. The hops give it a slight citrus smell. My first impression is that it seems like it will be a very nice beer to drink on a hot day. The first sip confirms this impression. This beer is lighter than the other Pilsners I've had, but I don't mind it one bit. It's definitely a beer I could drink a lot of. It has a fairly light flavor that isn't unpleasant at all.
I would give this beer a B-. Not bad, but I probably won't be buying it in six packs anytime soon.
Have you had Klisch? Do you agree with my take? Let us know in the comments.
