The 1838 Pilsner by Windmill is an easy drinking lager that is not only crisp, but also clean and provides a refreshing taste after every sip. As a family owned business we put our quality control into each brew. The town of Plzen in Bohemia had been making Bier since the 1200s and, in 1842, the Bavarian brewer Josef Groll travelled there and tested a new Lager recipe. Groll's new brewing techniques produced the very first golden, clear Beer in Europe. This drink became known as Pilsner, which means "from Plzen" in German. The town began producing this golden Beer on a large scale, with enormous cellars cut into rock for the lagering process.

    Thanks to PaleAleRider for this can from the brewery. Pours a clean golden colour with a frothy off-white head, decent stay and some light spots on the glass. Some malty grains for aromas with what seems like more hops than usual, or just maybe different hops not found in pilsners. Seems like a mix of chemical note hops and alcohol showing together. This is also found in the taste. Still, not too crazy offensive. Just not the right hops (Saaz).
