Eastlake Southside Pils Pilsneresque Ale.5% ABV. 40 IBU.
Eastlake Craft Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.
"Pilsneresque Ale"? That's a new one for me. I'm pretty sure it was an actually lager when it was first released, four years ago. Or was I misled?
Clear, bright golden, flush and fuzzy ivory head holds down the fort.
In the nose: Floral and slightly citric. Nicely hopped. Crisp and clean.
In the mouth: Hoppiness on the palate from the top. Slightly fruity, mildly bitter, judicious hop presence. More crisp, more clean, and lightness personified.
Southside is brewed in the style of a Czech Pils, only with a cool-fermenting ale yeast. We call it Pilsner-esque. A picaresque brew indeed, crisp and refreshing, Southside rolls with noticeable bitterness and spicy aroma from noble Saaz hops. This “Helles of the north” is the perfect beer to throw down after a long ride down the alleys and streets of Southside Minneapolis.
