Good pilsner is one way to tell the quality of any brewery. It’s a holy grail in the brewing industry, because there’s nothing to hide behind when you brew this beer. Crispy, crackery, and bready malt are the backdrop for pleasant floral, lemony, and herbaceous hops with a light, pleasant bitterness. Brewed with tedious attention to detail, this unfiltered pilsner is a labor of love that we’re happy to share.
Hop-focused German-style Pilsner brewed with 100% German malt and hops. We open fermented this beer, which was then naturally carbonated for a smooth, soft mouthfeel. Pilsner is often mistaken as a light, malty beer in America—ours sticks to the historical tradition of a moderately bitter lager with floral and crackery notes that is, most importantly, outrageously drinkable.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: glossy yellow to almost copper color with a slight cloudiness to it and a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: herbal to lemony to ever so slightly floral hop tones with a crackery/bready malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes crisp with a touch of dryness and a hint of bready malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting the flow; nice level of carb
Overall: pretty nicely done pilsener I believe does fine leaning towards being a German one. I'd come back to this this easy drinker.
