Ayinger Bavarian Pils

 Ayinger Bavarian Pils.

5.3 % ABV, 32 IBU. Ayinger Privatbrauwerei, Ayinger, Bavaria, Germany.

It’s taken me a long time to get to this one, has it not. Let’s waste no more time and drink one up.

Clear, bright golden hue, slim white head.

In the nose: crisp, clea, lightly floral, mildly hoppy. 

In the mouth: more crisp, more clean, with an extra dose of smooth. Just enough hops to keep me happy. Light bodied, easy drinking, plumb full of Bavarian character. Delicious Pilsner, and I don’t often say that. Malt flavors, hop flavors are all in harmony. Yum a dum dum. 

The Bavarian brewers have been masters in their trade for centuries and therefore also brew excellent pils beers. Indeed it was a Bavarian master brewer that brewed the first beer according to the pilsner method in the town of Pilsen! The glimmering, light-yellow Ayinger Bairisch Pils has the fragrance of aromatic hops from the “Hallertau” region of Bavaria (only these are used in the Ayinger beer specialties!). The beer is highly fermented and therefore smooth on the initial taste sensation, but also mild and sparkling in body. Our pils is accentuated by the floweriness of the hops aroma and has a more pronounced bitterness on swallowing, which quickly fades from the taste buds.
