Big match coming up

Sure they can’t loose the dungeon master (Michael d) shook all their hands

Starting today with a 4.6% Italian Pilsner from @dave_77

Hope you don't mind us sharing it Dave!

First of all there are no style guidelines to follow so I may struggle a little, but I'll do my best.

In appearance it's a straw coloured beer with a very very slight haze, presumably from dry hopping. It had a small, white head when first poured but it dissipated quite quickly.

Aroma is very light but there is a slight fruitiness, possibly melon, and a touch of prosecco on the nose.

The biggest flavour I am picking up is similar to the aroma. Very white wine like with hints of fruit (yum!) Bitterness is light to my tastebuds, and perfectly balanced with the beer.

The beer has light carbonation and a light-medium body I would say.

Such a shame it is raining as this would be perfect for sitting in the garden with. Very light, refreshing and super delicious. Could definitely sink a few of those while barbecuing! Will think about putting one in my schedule.

Thanks for sending Dave, we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is nice. Very drinkable.

We have another of those in the fridge. I love this one, it's perfect for my tastebuds.

My screen is showing it a rather odd colour though.

Pint number two of CML St Austell Salute, being able to have nice tasty easy drinking beers on tap with the level of carbonation I want the ABV I want and the style I want is one of the things I love about home brewing.

Onto this one next.

It wasn’t that dark in the glass. I’ve gone off hazy fruit bombs but that one was perfectly balanced. Lovely beer.

Then this excuse for a beer, absolutely vile! Reminds me of the contents of a patients drainage bag.

That's cool, I thought you might share so that's one of the reasons I sent 2 and might as well use the space and weight thats allowed.

Glad you enjoyed it, it's a style I have got a bit of a soft spot for at the moment. With the extra boost of German hops to give it a little more hoppiness than a standard Pils.
If you haven't read this but of writing about the origin of the style you should, you will be definitely wanting to brew one after .

Kiwi Pilsener still holding out, now about 3 months kegged.

Outstanding Verdant oatmeal stout and snacks while watching a very entertaining battle between England and Ireland.
