This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Kirkland Pilsner.
I can't believe that its been ten (10!) years since I reviewed a Kirkland Signature beer, but when I looked back over my beer reviews, its really been that long. Back in 2010 I reviewed the Hefeweizen (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2010/06/sunday-night-suds-kirkland-signature.html); German Style Lager (https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2010/04/sunday-night-suds-kirkland-signature.html); Amber Ale (https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2010/03/sunday-night-suds-kirkland-signature_21.html) and Pale Ale (https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2010/03/sunday-night-suds-kirkland-signature.html). Now, more than ten years later, Costco is selling a new 24 pack of mixed beers and I will IYH review them in this spot.
The first Kirkland beer I chose for review was the Pilsner, which is generally not one of my preferred styles, but this Pilsner was pretty good. The beer poured a darker yellow than I was expecting with some decent head retention and lacing. The first sip was malt (as to be expected) but there was also some unexpected, but not unpleasant, hop bite. This is not a macrolager and the abv of 4.7% seemed accurate based on the alcohol flavor as well. This is a decent cholent beer - better than a Stella Artois and light years above a Heineken.
The Kirkland beers are brewed by Gordon Biersch which also brews the Trader Joe's beers which are under kosher supervision All of the Gordon Biersch kosher certified beers are under the Va'ad of Detroit.
