Piedmont Pilsner one of my favorite beers from the Olde Hickory Brewery.  This beer pours with a nice foamy head and a beautiful light golden color, much like a blonde, if not even lighter than most.  It has a very clean and extremely crisp flavor from the German and Czech pilsner malts followed by a very minimal hop presence of Saaz and Hallertauer hops.  This beer also has a fair amount of carbonation that adds to its refreshing and light character.  This is definitely a good choice when you want a lighter fare on a nice summer day.  Unfortunately, it's 45°F outside here today, but I can enjoy this beer anyway :)

If I haven't mentioned it in the past, I'm extremely happy that Jason and Steve at OHB are offering up their brews in 22oz bombers these days.  I have quite a few more samples from the OHB on the shelf here that we'll be getting around to over time.  I still have over 35 beers in the tasting queue, so I have a lot of work to do. 

Until next time....
