Samuel Adams Noble Pils
Citrus & floral character from its 5 Noble hops and a honeyed sweetness from Bohemian spring barley make this crisp golden lager anything but a plain pilsner. (Description provided by company)
Also called a "Bohemian Pilsner" this style originated in 1840s in the city of Plzen (Pilsen in German) in the western part of the Czech Republic.
Light straw to golden yellow in color, the defining flavor of the Czech Pilsner is the use of the local Saaz hop. This hop gives the beer both spicy and floral hop flavors and aromas and a moderate bitterness. The biscuit and bready malt flavors gives a clean and balanced flavor profile. A dense and frothy head is also typical.
Best served cool, at 46-54 degrees, and in a pilsner glass, a stange, or a beer mug.
