Description
NOTCH's Pils is a meticulously crafted example of the classic Pilsner style, originating from their brewery in Massachusetts. This easy-drinking beer is characterized by its light golden hue and crisp, refreshing taste, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a balanced and straightforward lager. With an ABV of 4%, this Pilsner is effortlessly sessionable, providing a smooth yet flavorful experience without overwhelming the palate. Though Pilsners are typically known for their low bitterness, NOTCH's Pils takes this to heart with an IBU of 0, emphasizing its approachability and clean finish. The malt profile is subtle yet present, offering a gentle sweetness that is perfectly complemented by a restrained hop character, typical of European-style Pilsners. This results in a beer that is both crisp and refreshing, with a touch of malt sweetness that lingers just long enough to invite the next sip. For optimal enjoyment, serve NOTCH Pils at a temperature of around 38-45°F in a traditional Pilsner glass. The tall, slender shape of the glass helps maintain the beer’s carbonation and showcases its sparkling clarity. Pair this Pilsner with a variety of dishes, from grilled seafood and light salads to soft pretzels and mild cheeses. The beer’s clean profile and subtle flavors ensure it complements rather than overpowers your meal, making it a versatile choice for any casual dining experience. Whether you're exploring the local flavors of Massachusetts or simply appreciating the timeless appeal of a well-made Pilsner, NOTCH's Pils offers an authentic taste of the style, reflecting both tradition and the brewery's commitment to quality.

Pretty average pilsner. Fine with pizza but nothing special for me.

Thanks for the honest take on NOTCH Pils. If you ever want something hoppier let us know and we can point you to a few other options.
First had this on draft in Salem, finally found cans here and had to bring it home. Crisp, but wish it was just a touch less bitter.
