“Again, this is Alesong: style guidelines are cages for which our feathers are too bright,” says Coombs. “But if we had to choose, this would be close to a traditional German-style pilsner. We wanted to focus on floral and citrus-forward hops (Saphir, Sterling, and Hersbrucker) and German malt but didn’t want it to be too dry and bitter.” Coming in at 4.9%, this beer is light and complex, and every sip leaves you wanting more. Pairs well with picnics in the sun.
