Hops: Motueka.
The Philsner? Our meticulous homage to Bohemian tradition, orchestrated with the precision of DNA sequencing. This Pilsner boasts a bronze color that contrasts with the usual pale lagers —a first clue that this isn't a basic copy-and-paste.
Dr. Shaw (aka Philsner—yes, that's where the name comes from) served as our spiritual guide in this quest for authenticity. We reconstructed the mineral profile of Czech water with the rigor of a chemist preparing a buffer solution. Every ion counts, every sulfate has its role. The Bohemian malt unfolds its aromas of country bread and caramel like a score we know by heart.
But here we are, La Nébuleuse. So we added our two cents: New Zealand Motueka (a distant cousin of the noble Saaz) and a first-wort hopping that brings this subtle modernity. At 38 IBU, the bitterness dances between resin and sweetness. This is the traditional Pilsner that spent time in New Zealand and came back transformed, but without denying its roots.
