We built this beer with Czech pilsner yeast and a unique combination of black malts, malted wheat, and 100% Simcoe hops which add malty, toasty flavours to the crisp taste and body of a classic pilsner. The roasted malts give it the beer distinctive reddish hue, while the slow process and cold storage temperatures ensure refreshment every time.

Deeper brown gold body and a bit of white foam. Sweet lager on thr nose with no layering. Flavour is lager with malty sweetness behind it. Medium finish. All right, but feels like a lager mixed with something rather than standing on its own.

Draft pour at Red Truck. A clean, shady golden pour. Thin film head. Not much aroma here. Subtle grains. Flavor is straw, some apple, and a bit of plastic. Some rough malts that linger. Aggressive for a light format beer. I didn't think I'd enjoy a red pils, but I just had to see for myself. Weird beer as an overall. Maybe this is why red pilsners aren't more common? A rare miss for me.

Light amber with a thick head. Aroma is light crackery grains with a caramel accent. Sweet but crosses the palate with generally clean grains. Touch of caramelized sugars, not much hop nor much complexity. I guess as an Am Dark they’re getting it done at least to a Victoria level.

Draught at the brewery
Amber color, clean, dull hue. Hybrid of Lager and Amber Ale, a bit of Lager flavors blended with caramel, the malts are bready and crispy; ordinary bitterness with a mild herbaceous character.
The aroma is rather interesting, a bit citrusy, the flavor is more anonymous. Nice.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry bready malt. Flavour is bland, with dry bready malt and not really any hop content. Doesn't strike me as a pilsner, just some bland lager of some sort. Not very interesting.
