Riverside Copper Pilsner

Saulter Street Brewery is the proud parent of Riverside Copper Pilsner. A 4.7% alcohol amber lager, this Torontonian brew comes in 473mL cans.

Riverside is a handsome and clear amber brew that pours with a tin layer of eggshell head. It has a welcoming and warm aroma that has rich notes of caramel, something a bit metallic, and a deft touch of grain. The flavour is a mirror image of the scent, but with a bit more sweetness and a touch of yeast.

Perhaps not as crisp as I’d have liked, but Riverside proved to be nicely balanced and quite enjoyable. Also, having paid one memorable visit to the Saulter Street Brewery, I've got to put in a plug, because the folks there are particularly kind and chill--it's a genuinely nice spot to spend an afternoon.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
