I tried the Samuel Adams Noble Pils tonight with dinner. This is a really clean crisp beer. Very light in color and clear. I have drank this before and enjoyed it and other times did not. This is one of those times I did as I am expanding my beer palate.
This beer is brewed with 5 Noble hops. The hops are not royalty, they are from the "Old World" hops variety as this style of beer originated in the Czech region.
Let's see what SA has to say:
"Citrus and floral character from its 5 Noble Hops and a honeyed sweetness from Bohemian spring barley make this crisp golden lager anything but a plain Pilsner."
Hop Varieties: Hallertau Mittelfrueh, Tettnang Tettnanger, Spalt Spalter, Saaz, Hersbrucker
Malt Varieties: Samuel Adams 2-row malt blend and Czech Pilsner malt
Yeast: Bottom-fermenting lager
"Noble hops are so called as they are the original hop varieties from the world's oldest growing regions in Bavaria and the Czech Republic, and are prized for their delicate aroma and flavor. Each of the five noble hop varieties used in Samuel Adams Noble Pils adds a slightly different aroma and flavor to the beer, from citrus and spice to pine and floral. The result is a badly flavorful pilsner that's crisp, complex and refreshing."
