Pivo Pils

Brewery: Firestone Walker Brewing Company
Supplier: Brewdog Dundee Bottledog

From the famed Firestone walker brewery, this is one of their core "Lion & Bear" beers - a hoppy pilsner. Using a traditional pilsner base, but dry hopping with west coast hops - Magnum, Spalter, and Saphir. I served this chilled.
Appearance: A pale yellow with a slight hint of gold. The head is medium, but very airy, and pure white; it fades quickly.
Aroma: A bit metallic on the front with a hint of hoppy resin in the back.
Flavour: A little butyric acid on the front, with some pale malt in the back.
Body: I can't really tell as the carbonation is overpowering.
Aftertaste: No flavour in the back, but it does become quite refreshing. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 2, more towards being unpleasant to drink, disappointing from such a well renowned brewery.

Price Range: £2.46 (normally £2.60) for a 355ml can, any price isn't great.

Food Pairings: Anything really, it's just non-descript. Probably good with a curry.
