Uptown Pils

United States·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Rich malt character from German Pilsner malt meets Czech Saaz hops in this Czech-style pilsner of 5.5 % ABV. A long, cool fermentation and extended lagering shape it. The name is a tribute to the famous – or infamous – brick streets of Uptown Athens, where the brewpub sits.

◎ Appearance

Uptown Pils presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms quickly with fine, tight bubbles and maintains strong adhesion to the glass, leaving delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation appears well-integrated, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malt character, revealing soft grain and subtle bread notes from German Pilsner malt. Noble hops emerge with restrained but elegant floral and herbal notes typical of Saaz, creating a balanced and inviting bouquet. The overall impression is clean and grassy, with no aggressive esters or off-notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a clean malt sweetness and soft bread character, which dominates the flavor profile. Noble hop bitterness develops in the mid-palate with a crisp, peppery quality that complements the malt without overwhelming it. The finish is dry and smooth, with lingering herbal notes and a restrained bitterness that remains in proportion.
