MO PILS by Jersey Girl Brewing Co. was reviewed in conjunction with the 2015 style guidelines of the Beer Judge Certification Program under subheading 5D German Pilsner.
A very pretty golden beer poured brilliantly clear with a fine bead and big white head.
The aroma was a clean delicate balance of noble hops and a wisp of malted grains. The flavor mirrored the aromatics in every respect. Unlike many American renditions of this style, which are over hopped and are almost pale ale-like in character, this rendition is true to its origin. Crisp, highly attenuated and refreshing with alcohol on the lighter end of the style parameters.
Pilsner, easily the most popular beer style in the world, is well represented here in this easy-drinking interpretation of the style.
