Schlafly Biere de GardeAbita S.O.S. "Save Our Shore" – A Charitable Pilsner
The BP Oil spill in the Gulf was a terrible tragedy. So many lives were affected in so many different aspects. I think not only about human quality of life, but also about the wildlife and how they were so helpless. Abita Brewing Company is doing its part to help the relief effort by coming out with "A Charitable Pilsner". Working with the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, Abita is helping to restore the environment and assist individuals that were directly affected.

This "Charitable Pilsner" is not only made with Pilsner malts, it also has some wheat malts to spice things up a bit. It pours golden brown with a lasting off-white head that has nice, thin lacing. This Pils has a medium to light body that is slightly sweet and has a generous amount of hoppy flavors at the finish. This brew is a little out of the ordinary for a Pilsner because of its alcohol content (7%) which is just fine by me. There is a hint of alcohol flavor at the finish, but it balances nicely with the hops and the malty background. If you are looking to have a nice, refreshing drink for a good cause, this is the one for you.
