Holgate Pilsner

Here's a bit of a challenge. Holgate have some very impressive beers, but Pilsners almost never blow me away. I find they have a ceiling on how good they can be, whereas I'm always coming across an ale that redefines what you can do with a beer. Holgate have brewed a couple of wow factor beers so lets see what they can do with a Pilsner.

They've come damn close. It's a very good pilsner. It's clean, fresh, malty and floral - all the trademarks of a Pilsner, but it's just a step above what you normally get. It blows all of those samey-same Euro Pilsners out of water.

I'd still rather a good ale, but as far as lagers go this very good.
