German pilsner is characteristically dry and hoppy with a nice background bitterness. Ours is a classic example of the style brewed with Pilsner malt and hopped with Saphir and Spalt Select.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Aroma of grainy pale malt and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemongrass and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Easy drinking, but nothing special.

16oz pour at Darby's. Pours clear gold with large white head. Aroma has some chewy malts and a bit of dry grass. Flavour has some chewy semi-sweet malts and cabbagey greens. Nice hoppy bite. Needs work.

On tap at the brewery. Okay clear yellow body and decent head. Some grain on the nose. Flavour is good dry hop and pilsner grain. Dry finish. Quite a nice pilsner.

Can - Big skunky grains. Clear gold with a frothy light head. Soft grains, then lots of big grain bitterness and a crisp finish. Very solid.

Golden, no head.bit thick pale malt, hops are herbal but not interesting. Moderate bitterness, hops are spicier on the palate. Decent balance but kind of lacking in dynamism.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2017, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is extremely dry, with straw, biscuity malt and a dry hoppy astringency. Little bite, yet definitely pils-like. It's decent.
