When big ABV beers go big, Sierra Nevada Brewing has taken Pils, small. To 8oz thin cans to be absolutely precise.
The aroma upon opening the can is outsized to, well, its size. There is a whiff of grassy hop that hits the nose. Pils pours a pretty bubbly yellow color and that first sip is just great. A bit of carbonation and spice on the tongue. A bit of slipperiness is left on the palate as well. The hops are there holding the line and adding a nice herbal bitterness.
I am sure that it will be a common theme in reviews of this beer but this is a beer you are going to grab more than one can of and not because of the size.
