A horse is a horse of course, of course, unless it’s a Palomino pilsner from Matron.
Roy Rogers rode a Palomino; Trigger was known as “the smartest horse in the movies”. But when it comes to smart horses, “A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course. That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.” That’s right, Mister Ed, the talking horse, was a Palomino too and had his own TV show no less! * But if, like me, you thought a Palomino was a breed of horse, than, like me, you would be incorrect. Palomino is a colour in horses, gold coat, white mane and tail, are the traits.
This Palomino pilsner from Matron does posses some of the typical trappings of the genre, certainly a golden body, but white mane or head are MIA. It has a Iight, applely aroma, not much malt. First taste is a malt apple with an almost sour tang to the finish. The sour gradually morphed into a dry backend bitterness. The apple sweet comes and goes, meanwhile the bitters are banished. Some floral notes enter the picture. The traditional pils crisp finish shows up on occasion, almost on a whim. It was hard to keep up with this one, more changes than a politician’s alibi. Maybe Matron was just horsing around, but this brew was not at all stable. This Palomino is one wild ride.
