Juxtaposition Black Pilsner
Juxtaposition Black Pilsner
10% ABV
3-way collaboration between Stone Brewing Co., Brew Dog, (Scotland), and Cambridge Brewing Co., (Cambridge, MA). The beer was brewed and bottled at Stone’s facility in Escondido, CA.
Color-Purrty black, with a dark tan head.
Aroma-Thick, sweet malt, intertwined with citrusy hops.
Strong, dark malty flavor with hops right there in your face the entire time. Dark and bitter, sweet and bitter, sweet citrus then bitter. Then comes the lingering crisp bitter, smokey hop finish. According to the extremely brief description on the back of the bottle, that Stone is famous for, these guys used hops at every possible step in the brewing process, from the very beginning, all the way to my glass, excluding a swat team crashing through my windows, spraying me and my beer with fresh hops. So it’s super malty, loaded with hops, hello Stone. Any of you familiar with Brew Dog Hardcore IPA will recognize the strong citrus flavor that hits you right in the middle of the swallow. I haven’t had anything from Cambridge, but being that they were involved in this, I’d like to.
Overall, great beer experience. I’m trying to think of an occasion special enough to have this beer again. Hump day maybe?
Saaalut!!!
9.5 bananas!
