Some Pennsylvania beer was sent out to me this week, from Iron Hill Brewery: a six-pack of the brewery’s newly-canned King’s Gold American Pilsner. As part of the package, a toy gold medal and several chocolate gold coins were included, to highlight the beer’s gold medal-winning resume.

A blurb from the brewery’s blog about this beer:

After making it to the finals of 2018’s GABF, [Newtown head brewer Pete Corbett] tweaked the recipe by increasing the IBUs, adjusted the sulfate-to-chloride ratio, and added more head retention, different malts, and a fresh-lab grade pinch of yeast. Sounds like a science experiment, right? That’s because great beer isn’t just about taste, it’s about the right combination of ingredients added at just the right time to make a delicious beer.

King’s Gold is a grainy-sweet corn flavored American Pilsner that features smooth malts, robust hops and is a crisp and clean pale lager with an IBU of 30 and an ABV of 5%, making it a light, drinkable beer.

Should be interesting to review!
