Our Tastes-- DFH Piercing Pils


First and foremost, thanks to Bootleg Chuck and his wife Lydia. Without them beer muling this stuff illegally across multiple state lines, it would still be a dream. Piercing Pils is another DFH offering I couldn't' turn down. Tasting this with Andy Mc, it pours a beautiful clear dark champagne effervescence. A phenomenal white thick head tops off the pilsner glass and wafts a soft pilsen malt backbone and Czech hop to the nose. The bitterness of the Pilsen malt and Czech hops (as well as Amarillo hops) seesaw across the tongue yet balanced well with the tart white pear tea and pear fruit meat. We both agree, an oddity for the winter but hey, we bought a growler! 6%abv with less than 40IBUs.
