Sam Adams Noble Pils

February 6th, 2010
This past week, I can’t seem to get away from this beer.  So why not just embrace it?   Believe me, I couldn’t have been more than skeptical.

The brewery describes it as follows: “brewed with a blend of 5 Noble Hop varieties from each of the world’s only remaining Noble Hop growing regions. The spicy, herbal and citrus hop character is well balanced by the Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner malt, adding honeyed malt character and full body without sweetness.”

This beer is clear, golden and pours with a nice white head.  Citrus and floral notes abound.   Hop dominate but not too bitter.   Coming in at a mere 4.9% ABV, this beer is a great drinker.   Clean classic Czech style Pilsner.

Current Beeradvocate rating: A-.

My take: This is a fantastic beer and I couldn’t be more surprised.   This is one of the better examples of this beer style outside of the Czech Republic.

    I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this beer. An excellent staple beer. I could see myself sitting down and having many of these over the course of an evening. Definitely reminded me of Tuppers Hop Pocket Pils.

    I also found myself really enjoing this beer, not to mention the price tag @ 7.99.
    I did not find your blog till today (via Brent @ Howchow)so I was closed out of the comments for your brown ale…..don’t forget to cut about 20 IBU’s off the Brown Recluse too. HAHA.
