Tasting Notes: Meantime Pilsner

Meantime Brewing CoBrewery: Meantime Brewing Company
Location: Greenwich, London, England
ABV: 4.7%
Version: 330ml bottle

We’ve covered most of the bottled beers on offer from Meantime but there’s still a few more to be sampled. Their pilsner comes in the dinky 330ml champagne style bottle used for their coffee and chocolate beers. Brewed in the Bavarian Pilsner style it’s a pale yellow colour with a light hop aroma and a hint of malt. The malt is pretty much absent from the flavour, which is gently hoppy, slightly citrus with a touch of lemon. It’s certainly a decent example of the type but I’m not a great pilsner fan and this does nothing to entice me to make it a regular feature in my beer purchases, especially when Meantime have other, much better, beers to choose from.

    The two Meantime beers I’m least keen on trying are this one and their Raspberry, I have to confess. Stick to their Stout is my motto.
