Strubbe Super Pils
Pours clear yellow color with a small white head that faded quickly and left minimal lacing. Smells of light grains, caramel, light citrus hops, husk or wheat, hay, grass and other sweet cereal-like smells that help provide the typical Euro pilsner or lager aroma; this was a little sweeter smelling than normal, so it's above average. Tastes like it smells, with grains, caramel, light citrus hops, light citrus fruit, husk, wheat, hay, grass, flowers, corn stalks, sweet cereal like Frosted Flakes and some light sugary sweetness; above average again, but this is very basic and has no real exciting elements to the taste. This might be due course for the style, but for me this was fine to wash down a burger. Mouthfeel was light and crisp with light carbonation and a light body and overall feel. A lighter typical Euro pilsner that had above average flavor, but lacked any real hop bite, spice or zest. A good session beer if you're looking for average flavor, but don't expect an exciting taste. This company must have a great sales rep, as I had this today at Resto (29th St.) and see from some of the other reviews that this beer is all over NYC at the moment. Hats off to that sales team, now they need to get the brewer to add more hops.
