J.R. Brickman Pilsner

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

A Canadian take on a centuries old traditional brew. The is pours a clear gold colour with a thin white head that disappears quickly. The malt is of the grainy variety, but is balanced nicely by some hops. The flavour profile is similar to the aroma. Easy drinking, and refreshing.

Pours a perfect light golden colour with fine bubbles and a thin head that disappears quickly. Nose is light, yet consistent and unique. In my mouth it feels very similar to a good champagne with a taste that just seems to fit perfectly into a stronger pilsner category. A great beer and I will definitely be purchasing this again.

The beer poured a translucent orange-gold with a thin white rocky head that lasted. The aroma was typically Brick with some malty tones, some yeasty tones, and a little bit of hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with some mild carbonation. The flavour was a nice balance of malts and hops, and was very good for a bottom-fermented beer.

Like Chopz and Myke said this is a very good pilsner,i completely agree...Aroma of fresh grain and hops,nice golden colour with decent head.Mouthfeel is creamy and exquisitely sweet.Malty, biscuity flavor mix with great hops giving a very floral result...Definitely a well crafted beer...

This Canadian pilsner pours a golden colour with a big creamy white head that has excellent retention and leaves real thick lacing. Active carbonation all-over the glass. The nose is rich with grainy and bready malt. Caramel is also present and mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Mild hop taste with some light caramel in the finish. The lace sticks the whole way down. A very nice pils which I will buy again.

Bottle from Lubière: Poured a golden yellow color ale with a huge foamy white head with good retention. Aroma of floral hops with grainy malt. Taste is quite refreshing with a good grainy malt backbone and a dry finish. Finish might be tad too dry for my own taste but overall this is a quality pils.

I must say I'm very impressed. I've read copious amount s on this beer and the other ones in the new Brick line, but being Brick I was still skeptical. I mean c'mon, can ya blame a fellow for a little apprehension? But this beer kicks some serious ass. Imagine a King Pils crossed w/ a DAB. very grassy and yet bready and biscuity too. And that aroma!!! WOOOHEEE! I thought I was in pilsner heaven. Thisw also one one you definatley want to do out of a glass. Now I've sampled this 3 ways - The standard pilsner long glass, the German pilsner glass, like what you might get a Stella in,. and out of the bottle and I can safely say that either glass is much better than ther bottle, which means that this beer acvtually gets better if can breathe. Not somehting you can say about Brick beers in the past. I can't wait to try this on tap.

3rd in the "founder’s series" craft beers from Brick. My luck to get some of the first release bottled that day...this is fresh beer. A clear light gold in the flute, rocky frothy 3 finger cap...lasts, great lacing on the glass. Moderate carbonation Aroma of bready-biscuity carapils malts over some light herbal Hallertau hops. Medium-light bodied....decent malt spine for a Pilsner...this does not seem to copy Brick’s anniversary pils in body and flavor profile, this is far more maltier and better hopped....soft mineral mouth feel ( Formosa spring water?) Flavor is a perfect balance between light biscuity malts and herbal woody hops up front, light lemony notes midway through, finish is moderately dry with great herbal bittering from the hops and wonderful biscuity snap that lingers into the after taste. Very flavorful for a Pils and very drinkable. Bravo Brick! This is a fine micro pilsner in the German style. ...Saaz and Spalter hops and some import malts added to the eclectic taste/character of this pils. For those of us who can’t get King Pilsner all the time this is a great substitute. I buy it regularly and recommend it to anyone who likes Pilsners.
