Sixpoint Brewery The Crisp:
Greetings people and welcome a beer review for the masses.  Yes friends, today we look at that style of beer that is popular with the masses of beer drinkers and is normally shunned by the experienced. The pilsner beer is one of those styles that is a rooted in history with it’s origin reaching all the way back to 1842 in the Czech Republic.  While many have been adopted and adapted throughout the years and today we have a plethora of beers that call themselves pilsner but few are actually that good.  Today, let’s meet one that is making it’s own attempt at making a good pilsner: Sixpoint’s The Crisp which, like all other Sixpoint brewing’s beers, is in tall boy can.  The beer pours a medium blonde with a nice stark white head that moves to a thin film that leaves some lacing and a nose of strong malts and a sweet under note.  The beer’s initial taste is very similar to the major American pilsners with a malt and wheat combo flavor that move into a sour bite of hop in the mid tongue and after taste.  Not a bad beer but still nothing too different about it as compared to other beers in the pilsner world.  Still not a fan of them but I do respect their place in the beer world and that’s about where my recognition of them ends.
