Penn Brewery's Penn Pilsner

It must be Pennsylvania Brewery Day. Although this one has less of an old school look and feel. I'm hoping that's made up by the fact that Pilsner is one of my favorite styles, even if it's the lesser funky German style.

Pours a fast, deep clear yellow with a good light tan head for a pils. Low carbonation for a lager. Smells very sweet and malty even for a German pils. Has more funk the deeper you draw.

Moderate cardboardy bitterness, which is almost always an indicator of weak or adjunct malt grains. Crisp lager feel, but the odd bitterness overpowers the funk that a pils should have.

This one goes way down on the list of pilsners to buy if I see it again. Just off the mark, overly bitter with an underwhelming pils flavor.
