Our core-range Pils is our take on a classic German-style Pilsner. This is the beer we drink to celebrate the end of the working day. Clean, crisp, and refreshing with bitterness balanced by bready malt character. Brewed with 100% low colour Golden Promise malt, fermented with a German lager strain and hopped with classic noble varieties. (only batches hopped with Callista so far).

Can from HOTM. Light cloudy gold with moderate sized white head. Aroma has a clean grain sweet malt profile with floral and lemon hop notes. Taste of clean smooth malts, a mellow lemon hop but slight fruity tang and grassy bitter finish. Tasty
