Schell's Fresh Hop Pilsner
Schell's Fresh Hop Pilsner. Man, oh man, I'm late again with another Schell's beer. Had to grab it before it's gone.
Appearance: crystal clear and bright golden-hued, under a slim white head.
Aroma: Lively noble hop aroma, floral and citrus notes, lemon and sunflowers. Lively nose.
Taste: Clean and smooth, sparkling hop presence on the tongue. Easy-drinking, light body, tasting terrific. Lingering hops in the finish. Bit of a tropical twist to the hop flavor, pineapple and passionfruit, guava, perhaps. Tasty, tasty, tasty. This is great stuff.
Is there gobbledygook? There is, here on the carrier: "Schell's Fresh Hop Pilsner is a small batch, limited release beer series made annually during prime hop harvesting season. Fresh hops don't survive long after being cut, so they are picked, shipped and quickly added to the kettle, preserving their aromatic oils and resins that add so much flavor to the beer. This beer is best consumed fresh and must be refrigerated."
