The folks at Hawthron Brewing co have put together a very drinkable Pilsner here. It's fresh, crisp and malty. Very refreshing. The bottle had almost vanished before I even started taking notes.
The problem here is that it's almost too good at being a really basic pilsner. It isn't complex or different, and... just a tad boring.
It's like a perfectly prepared and balanced accounting document...or something. All the boxes are ticked... but who is really going to be interested in reading it?
It's just about faultless in it's execution, but is still only just a 'good' beer. I'd never go out and buy a six pack, but would gladly take one over a macro brew.
It can't all be IPAs and Porters. You can't just rely on throwing knockout blows for the entire fight, or you'll just swing yourself out. Sometimes it's safer to stay with the jab. Keep it tight and clinical. I'm not a huge fan of this beer, but I do respect it.
7/10
