Old World Pilsner

A Czech-inspired pilsner brewed with a single decoction mash process, Czech Saaz hops, fermented with Czech and German lager yeast in a French oak puncheon in our cooler. After three months of conditioning, the beer was moved to a tank and krausened (as is all of our lager) with fresh fermenting beer to provide natural carbonation. After another two months of further conditioning and slow carbonation, we present you with a beautifully softened, refined, and elevated representation of pilsner.

Draught at Monk's pours hazy with a white head. Atoma is citrus peel, lime, mellow bread. Taste is lightly bitter. Very clean. Almost creamy. Pleasant aftertaste. Nice.

Sampled from the tap at Tørst. Pours a clear gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has a dry straw with growing hay and a bit of earthy grass coming through. Flavor has earthy hay and straw with a touch of wet grass coming through.

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white head with good retention recedes to mottle surface. Cracker, hay and lemon/lime aromas. Soft with sweet hay and cracker upfront turning to lemon and lime pith and peel in the dry, medium length oak finish.

Brewery draught, 2/1/23. Hint of haze. Glowing lemony-honey-golden. Large, well-retained, snow white head. Rich mineral, honey, bread dough and fresh, assertive (but not too much so) hops. Clean, aromatic, no alcohol. Soft, juicy almost with so much rich, honey-drenched malt flavors and a slight vanilla and wood presence. Massive, juicy, fresh herbs and fresh cut grass hop charge, but low bitterness to help keep the focus on the malt. Clean, rich, mineralesque and crazy drinkable. Wow. Where Poetica is a bit more restrained, elegant and traditional, this is just a feast of flavors and richness.

Lager glass showing pale amber with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows lightly intense clean lager malts with notes of raisins on warming up. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied with a clean mouthful. Malt forward with a light tartness and light notes of wood.

Draft at the brewery. Golden yellow. Grainy aroma cereal, grass and rye aroma. Flavor oh man.its the light crisp flavor that goes down so easily. I was hot an sweaty from riding my dirt bike all morning an I roll into Hill and down the thing in 2 minutes flat and ordered another. Grassy, lemon, peach, cherry all faint earthy fruits with rye and bread dough.
