Dan meets (and tastes) Threes Brewing Vliet’s edgier big brother, Super Vliet, as part of a recent lager binge.

Threes Brewing Super Vliet

STYLE: Can-conditioned German-style PilsnerINGREDIENTS: German Pilsner Malt; Czech Saaz and German Spalt Select hopsABV: 5.1%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16oz Cans, Draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the brewery’s can, website, and Untappd.

Appearance

Yellow/golden in color with a sizable, white, fluffy head.

Aroma

Hop resin was the first note to hit my nose with floral and herbal essences following.

Taste

Earthy and herbal hops hit through the mid-palate with some floral notes on the finish.

Mouthfeel

Crisp and dry like Vliet, with a bit more weight and mouth-coating feel.

Overall

This definitely feels like an edgier big brother of Vliet, with the hop presence and mouthfeel being distinctly different though both are at the same ABV. As a German-style, that type of fare would still work well, but try pizza, wings or other bar food.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
