- Brew: Pils Boutique West Coast Style Pilsner
- Style: Pilsner
- Serving: 12 ounce can
- ABV: 5.0%
- Ingredients: hops
- Pour: The Pils Boutique pours a fairly clear, golden yellow hue with a frothy, bright white, half-finger head that dissipates to the thin ring with light lacing.
- Nose: The nose is grainy, floral, citrusy, dank, and malty. There are aromas of pale grains, toasted sourdough bread, grapefruit rind, light lemon zest, grassy and piney hops, and a touch of honey.
- Taste: The taste of the Pils Boutique follows the nose with lot of grainy, malty, and hoppy flavors. There are notes of crackery biscuit, grapefruit, a hint of lemon zest, pine resin, grassy hops, and light honey.
- Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied and well carbonated, the mouthfeel is very crisp and effervescent with a dry, clean finish.
Overall pairing: The hop-forward, very refreshing, and crushability of the Melvin Pils Boutique West Coast Style Pilsner is perfect for the landmark hip-hop stylings of the Beastie Boys on their "Paul's Boutique" album! 'Nuff said!
Cheers!!
