It's summer. And here in central Texas, we've reached the unbearably hot stretch we have to contend with every August. Hot. Humid. Sticky. Miserable. And so we drink beer. It's what we have to do. I recently tried to beat the heat with the recent Austinite Pilz.
Strange Land Brewery's proclaimed "postmodern take" on the pilsner is quite unlike any i've had before. The beer pours a hazy gold with a nice frothy head, and carried aromas of bread and tart. At first taste, the beer is almost citrus sweet and lightish bodied, but then it finishes a little more bitter on the back end. In a lot of ways it had some wit characteristics to it, like some mad beer scientist combined a wit and a pilsner, and that's just fine with me. This very sessionable 5% ABV brew did the trick on a hot summer day.
