Name: Steam Whistle Pilsner (Draft)
Origin: Canada, Toronto
Style: Pilsner (Czech Pilsner 5%)
Appearance: Though I did not see the beer poured it still had around half of an inch of soft head upon arrival to the table. The beer is a light, very clean yellow colour.
Taste: Though the odors are are somewhat metallic, Steam Whistles’ Pil is nothing of the sort in taste. The beer has strong notes of honey, mixed in with a combination of bread and cracker like flavours. The beer finishes with its honey notes and a lemon like citrus flavour, balancing it out with some needed bitterness.
Mouth Feel: It is a very clean, soft drinking beer. It is not overly carbonated and finishes dry with a short, enjoyable aftertaste.
Final Thoughts (3.5 out of 5): Far better on tap then in the bottle, this beer is probably one of the best Pilsners available in Canada. I am not a huge fan of Pils in the first place, though this is one I would pick up at the beer store if nothing new was available for sampling.
