Sierra Nevada Nooner Pilsner


Sierra Nevada Nooner Pilsner. Another one from the SN summer sampler box. 5.2% ABV.

Appearance: clear, golden. Slim, soon-done head.

Aroma: sweet, malty, cereal grain nose. Light hops, fairly floral.

Taste: In the mouth, it's sweet, again, it's smooth, ever-so slightly bitter, and incredibly drinkable. Just enough flavor to keep my engaged, but not enough to make it interesting. Little trickles of fruit, flowers, and honey, smacks of cereal, ending ultimately on a dry note.

I don't mind this at all, but you won't see me toting home a case of it. I recommend it to your friends and fathers-in-laws, of course.

Hey, what's that on the bottle neck say? "German style pilsners are the original session beers. Nooner is our version of this classic style, loaded with floral and spicy hop flavor and balanced by a crisp and dry finish."
