Craft Brew of the Week Award:
Small Craft Warning (Über Pils) - Clipper City Brewery, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Style - American Double Pilsner
Bright, light golden yellow, with tightly-packed, sticky white head. Beneath, steady streams of light carbonation bring awakening aromas of fresh citrus, dried rose petals, and spicy hops to dance among the senses. Smooth, slightly sticky, big-bread malts balance on a perfect tightrope-of-excitement with piney, grassy, floral and citrus hop flavors. Round softness adds to the complexity. Incredible!
Cheers!
