Tröegs Brewing Company's summer seasonal beer Sunshine Pils had just come up in conversation the previous weekend at a (mostly) session beer tasting at my house.
It seems we weren't the only ones who couldn't wait for this beer to be released. The kind people at Tröegs have seen fit to grace us with a special release of Sunshine Pils before it is officially ready for packaging.
From the Tröegs Tales newsletter:
"For a limited time, we are offering an unfiltered version of Sunshine Pils for sampling and growler sales in the brewery Tasting Room. Dubbed “Sunshine FEVA” (that’s “fever” for those in the know), unfiltered Sunshine Pils brings out a more intense yeast flavor along with subtle hop tastes that are lost during filtration—and it’s cloudy since the yeast is still in the beer."I had a chance to pick up a growler of this limited edition beer over the weekend. I haven't posted a review of it online yet but I do have my notes and in fact I am quaffing a pint right now as I write this.
It tastes just like the SP you know and love but the mouthfeel is textured and cottony and there is a palate-teasing underlying citrus flavor that makes for just a really great experience.
If you are a fan of Sunshine Pils you will definitely want to check out this beer. It is only available on tap and in growlers (buy new or fill your own) at the brewery gift shop/tasting room. Hours are Mon.-Fri. 9AM-5PM and Sat. Noon til 3:30PM. Phone: 717-232-1297.
Cheers!
