Beer 378 – Full Sail LTD 03 Lager (4 stars out of 5)


Full Sail Brewing, Hood River, OR.  Bought at HEB, Cinco Ranch, TX and drunk at home in Katy, TX as I heated up fettucine alfredo provided by Magiano’s as part of the dinner last night. Buy one entrée and get a second one to enjoy at home, this was the second one.  Patricia and Sofia are studying calculus once again, they got a 96 on the first test.  A twist off cap with “LIVE THE DREAM” printed under the cap and 090911 – presumably a best-buy date - on the bottle.


The web site says Well looky here, a crisp pilsner-style lager all ready to rock your tastebuds’ little world. The third addition to our LTD series is pale-golden in color, featuring a spicy floral hop aroma, malty medium body, and a smooth, thirst quenching finish. ABV 5.6% IBU 35.”

I enjoyed this beer, nice body and pleasant taste without being too heavy.  A nice aperitif beer to be drunk before dinner.

The 120 drinkers at RateBeer.com (http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/full-sail-limited-edition-lager-ltd-03/104354/) generall liked this beer.  They scored it at an average of 3.17 which puts it at a 68 percentile overall, and 98th percentile in its class of Pilsener.

The 91 reviewers at Beer Advocate also liked the beer.  (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/5316/50097) They gave it an average score of B – good.
