Great Lakes The Wright Pils

This is a 5.3% ABV pilsner from the Great Lakes Brewing Company of Cleveland, Ohio. The recipe follows the original formula from Pilsen, Bohemia and is also brewed in accord with the German Purity Law of 1516.

The beer pours a pure, clear yellow golden in color. There is a tall head of thick white foam. The aroma is lightly sweet, golden grain, fresh tall grass, and light floral. The aroma has me licking my lips. The taste follows the aromas quite directly. It is moderately bitter with a dry finish.  This is a tasty and elegant, yet simple, pilsner beer.  It is definitely one of the better American brewed pilsners.
