Tasting Notes
From the description on Rogue's website:
Good Chit Pilsner is made with Rogue Farm barley that we floor-malted in small batches. Floor malting is an, old fashioned, 8 day process that includes steeping, germination, raking, roasting, bagging and hands on love 24 hours a day. "Chit" refers to the start of the rootlets that emerge from the embryo of the kernel once steeping is complete and germination begins.
Pours clear and golden with a fizzy white head. Smells like sweet cereal malts. Grassy hops notes in the body, with a little bit of citrus and the same sweet cereal taste. Light, crisp. Dry finish. Overall, a pretty nice pilsener. The price point on Rogue is a bit higher than other breweries, which might keep me from picking this up again, but luckily for me it's been on sale all over town and I was able to grab one for a fairly reasonable five bucks. Score!
