Tonight, the Flying Saucer in Addison tapped Harpoon Leviathan Big Bohemian Pilsner. Let me just say, what's not to love about a pilsner. Especially this one!
Came to the table in a snifter. A beautiful pale orange with a thin white head. There didn't seem to be any big nose to it...it seemed really light. In fact, I was really surprised at the taste...compared to the nose. It's nicely sweet...a big caramel flavor jumps out right up front. After a beat, I got the lemony zest. The Reverend's reaction was just the opposite...he got the lemon first, then the sweet. (He always was a bit backwards.)
After another beat, I began to taste a little bite of hops and feel the alcohol (9% abv). I couldn't drink a lot of these, but one or two sure would be good. Really good!
Backwards not am I!!
