Bootleg Wils Pils
Appearance - 3.0 A controlled pour yeilds a finger of pillowy looking off-white head over an amber-gold body with definite chill haze. Smell - 3.0 Almost candy sweet, aromas of toffee, caramel and gentle citrus. A little grassy note, but hops are drowned out by malt sweetness. Taste - 3.0 A little over-sweet, but the moderately bitter finish means that the beer is reasonably well balanced. Flavours of toffee, honey, grains, vaguely fruity and slightly medicinal. Not quite as a pilsener should be, but I'd take this over a tasteless, Beck's style pils. Mouthfeel - 3.0 A little on the gassy side, but carbonation feels about right, a little heavy for the style. Drinkability - 3.5 This is a very drinkable beer, but for the style, it should be more drinkable and sessionable. OVERALL - 3.05 Judging by my comments, it may seem I have been generous with the scoring. However, when I am not in a critical mood, I find Wils Pils to be a very enjoyable beer. Not a textbook pils by any means, but full of flavour and definitely worth trying.
