Pilsner Head to Head

#1-
Head: Fluffed up quick and disappeared. little trace on the edges from there on out. 

Color: A bright yellow gold. Light passes through easily and can bee seen through.

Body: Light, Very thin and easy drinking.

Scent: A malt scent off the top and a slight hoppyness. More floral or grassy.

Taste: Very light but crisp. Nice bit of wheat
tasting malts. The hops come out and bitter it
much more then most pilsner. 



#2-

Head: Slightly fluffy, hung around on the top of the glass for most the beer.

Color: A darker golden color, still can be seen through, light passes easily through.

Body: Light and smooth another easy drinker.

Scent: A bit more of a sweet malt scent off this one. Earthy hop scent too.

Taste: A nice almost biscuity taste to the malts. The hops have a nice earthy slightly piney taste
that lingers. Also more hoppy then most pilsners.


      This was the hardest fight thus far. I love both these beers. The tastes of malt and hops are blended well and leave little to be desired. One just seemed to have a crisper profile then the other. So it's number two that wins and gives me what I want in a pils. Sam Adams Noble Pils Wins!
