SA Noble Pils 2011 falls flat

[ThereThere]

Noble Pils is okay, but I see no reason to ever buy it again when I live in Minnesota, where I can get the ultimate pilsner, Schell's Pilsner.

Tried a couple pints today.

Absolute crap.

Last year this beer was great. This year it is absolute crap.

They have sullied their reputation.


Mr Koch owes us all an apology for knowingly brewing this crap and using the same name as last year's masterpiece.

LOVED it last year. Drank it this year. That's it. I just drank it and thought, "Meh. Decent pils." Hop aroma was non-existent. The bitterness that tasted "bright" last year fell flat this year. I supposed my palate had changed, but judging by the other comments here, I must conclude otherwise.

I had three sixers last year, and the one I had over the last few days is probably my last this year. I didn't find it bad, but not as good as last year, and there's more interesting beer around for me to drink instead.

I like it enough to have gone through 4 12 packs this year - it's the temporary guest beer at my place for BMC drinking company - seems well received enough, while not be a totally devoid of flavor fizzy yellow beer.

I had a fresh six pack after a long decoction-mash brew day, it was refreshing. The circumstances definitely helped, but I still feel after three six packs that they may removed some aroma hops from the recipe.

I really loved it before and I think this years tastes great.

Haven't tried it yet this year, but the reviews sure are inconsistent. Hmmmm....

I loved last year and got two six packs this year. The first was skunked, the second is very nice.

Had it on tap, didn't seem to have the bite it did last year, still decent though.
