Civic Pilsner hails from Ottawa. The 4.5% German-style pale lager is brewed by Dominion City Brewing Co. Sold in 355mL cans, the beer is golden, a bit hazy, and pours with a sudsy off-white head.
CP boasts a dry, grainy aroma with a healthy dose of noble hops. It has a crisp, floral flavour that weds sweet cereals with an arid bitter finish.
When I think of Ottawa’s Dominion, I think of expertly crafted IPAs and wildly strong, sweet imperial stouts. With Civic Pilsner, they proved their range extends to well-tuned lagers as well. I’d have preferred clarity in the appearance, but otherwise, CP proved a flavourful little lager.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
