Named after our beautiful neighborhood, The Hollow is our house pilsner brewed with our northeastern farmhouse sensibility. Growing hops requires a lot of work outside in the heat. And there’s no better beer to have after a day in the hop yard than a clean, beautiful pilsner. This beer is hopped with Brewer’s Gold; one of the five varieties grown on farm both for the delicate character it contributes in a clean snappy lager such as this as well as the success we have had growing the variety in our own hop yard.

Got in a trade with brutalfarce. 16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 12/10/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, wood, mint, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, orange, wood, mint, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, wood, mint, citrus peel/zest, peppercorn, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent German pilsner. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great clean pils malt showcase, with balanced citrus/earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering. Hop profile was pretty unique, but still spot on stuff for the style.
