Dan cracks open another collaboration beer from Threes. This time, it’s their first American Pilsner with Green Bench, Wish You Were Here.
Threes Brewing Wish You Were Here
STYLE: American Pilsner
INGREDIENTS: Pilsner malt, New York corn, Carolina Gold rice, with American Mt. Hood and Crystal hops
ABV: 5.0%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16oz Cans, Draft (Limited)
COLLABORATION: Green Bench Brewing Company
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.
Appearance
Super clear and gold in color with a half-inch, fluffy, white head.
Aroma
A mix of earthy, fruity, and herbal notes with lemon, earthy spice a la sage, and some residual sweetness a la Asian pear.
Taste
Corn-sweet notes hit along with earthy/floral notes from the hops with a lovely minerality.
Mouthfeel
Fairly dry on the finish with a smooth mouthfeel and soft carbonation.
Overall
This was a unique brew from Threes, who generally trends German with a splash of Czech with their lagers. Pairing-wise, you could go a number of different directions, but I was craving a grain bowl with farro or quinoa and sweet potato etc.
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
