\"\"<\/a>Sam Adams says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Samuel Adams\u00ae Noble Pils is brewed with all 5 Noble hops for a distinct hop character and fresh taste. Deep golden in color with a citrusy hop aroma, Samuel Adams Noble Pils is a traditional Bohemian Pilsner. The honeyed malt character from traditional Bohemian malt is balanced by delicate yet pronounced citrus, floral, and piney notes from the Noble hops. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nGerman Pilsner, 5.2% ABV

Sayeth the Guys:<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan:<\/strong> I was disappointed, to say the least, when I first heard that Sam Adams was not going to be brewing it’s White Ale in the spring.\u00a0 It was always a consistent beer in the fridge in April and May and I thought it was a great way to ease in to wheaty, summery beers.\u00a0 I was intrigued by the announcement that the Noble Pils would replace the White Ale but I still couldn’t get over the fact that one of my favorite spring beers wouldn’t be on shelves this year.\u00a0 I was so down about it, in fact, that I really didn’t want to try it (dramatic, right?).\u00a0 But I found myself on the day before my wedding at a hotel bar that had no other craft offerings other than Sam Adams Noble Pils.\u00a0 So, I tried it.\u00a0 And I liked it.<\/p>\n

Noble Pils poured a borderline translucent straw yellow in color with a fingers or so worth of white head that quickly faded.\u00a0 Well, it sure smells like a pilsner; crisp and clean with a bit of hops and malt.\u00a0 And just like a good pilsner the flavors are very crisp and sharp.\u00a0 A nice blend of floral, citrus and piney hopes are present with a nice, malty backbone to balance it out.\u00a0 There is also a bit spiciness in the aftertaste.<\/p>\n

There is something clean and refreshing about a good pilsner and there is also something comforting.\u00a0 You know what you are going to get.\u00a0 Sure, it can be predictable but sometimes that is exactly what you want.\u00a0 A good, quality, predictable pilsner and that is Noble Pils to a “T.”\u00a0 Sorry, White Ale but you are now a distant memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
