Lagunitas Pils is a Czech-style Pilsener (6.2% ABV and 38 IBU) that pours yellow / gold with a little head and great carbonation. I do not think it stopped bubbling the entire time I enjoyed it. This is a nice fizzy yellow beer and is definitely not a “macro” beer. Pils has a crisp clean taste with a bready malt character and low bitterness. Pilsener are one of the harder styles to brew because there is little that can be used to mask any mistakes. Another nice one from Lagunitas.
Alaskan Brewing Co. is one of my favorite brewers and I had not tried Summer (5.3% ABV and 18 IBU) for a while and I was able to pick one up in a mixed six. Summer is a Kolsch-style ale and is called Kolsch-style because only German brewers in Cologne can label their Kolsch beers Kolsch. Summer pours golden straw with a nice head and is a drinkable beer. Summer is a session beer with the low ABC and bitterness. It could be described as a “lawnmower” beer and enjoyed during the summer.
