Southern Tier Eurotrash Pilz:
Hello friends, let’s talk trashy beer shall we? Well, trashy beer is probably not the best term, it’s a decent beer, but it’s named after a suspect (at best) group from Bavaria. The beer from Southern Tier, Eurotrash Pilz, is modeled after a European Pilsner as opposed to an American (think Budweiser) and brewed with two types of hops and two types of malts. The beer pours like most pilsners that I’ve encountered so far with not much foam on the head but this one sports a hazy golden color that is very effervescent in it’s in glass appearance. The nose is lemon with floral and bread notes and a notice of hops towards the end of the schnoz usage. The taste is a mix of a mellow lemon flavor that is more sour than zest and hops are up front while the biscuit of the malts are predominate on the mid-tongue and a mild skunk on the back-end. Not a bad beer but different, much more in the category of an pale ale than a pilsner in my mind. Maybe instead of calling this Eurotrash it should of been Nihilist pilz instead.
