TROEG'S Sunshine Pils Review


Type: Pilsner

ABV: 5.3%

Color: Beautiful bright straw yellow. Light white head with minimal lacing.

Aroma: Tremendously sweet. Like nectar from a fresh cut orange. Hop presence is in there but is muted. Very little maltiness or spice at all.

Taste: First notice is the dryness which is light but it is definitely there. The soft wash of citrus(not as powerful as the scent) and florals hit next. Then the hoppiness comes from behind and hangs in the back of your throat til the next step. A light buttery taste coats the tongue nicely

Overall: I was expecting alot from this beer after the first smell.I was unforunately underwhelmed. It is good, don't get me wrong. I was just hoping for a citrus burst on first swig, that didn't really come through. Nice light and refreshing. Worthy of a few bottles on a hot summer afternoon.

Score: 7.8/10
