SIERRA NEVADA SUMMERFEST 2006 PILSNER
Marginally better bottle-conditioned ’06 version of Czech-styled pilsner layers sleekly soft floral-hopped grapefruit-lemon fizz, thin green grape-apricot-apple sass, and earthen barnyard waft atop fragile cracked wheat spine. Pale translucent body and white head seem as delicate as its baked bread finish, but metallic tinge impairs mild rye sag.

On tap, dank straw-hued German-styled pilsner conveys salty corn-silk dryness to vegetal-swilled lemon-bruised orange-candied sourness. Diacetyl finish retains dull bread-crusted pumpernickel nuance and mild currant sway. Canned version gets awfully tinny. Forget the dumb ‘deluxe’ tag, this here’s mere cheap debris.
