Our faithful take on German-style pilsner. Maine pils malt base, hopped with Saaz and Mittelfruh, and horizontally lagered for over a month.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a good transparency about it with a two finger white foamy head which gently died off and left some messy sticky lace
Aroma: spicy Saaz-like hops with some earthy and floral hop accents over top of some clean bready/biscuity malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine spicy to sweet blend; finishes crisp, smooth and spicy hopped
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light bodied; sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue; good carb level
Overall: they're calling this a German pils but I somewhat wonder if this is closer to a Czech one? Hmmmm...either way, I'd definitely return to this.

Crisp, grainy and slightly bready malty with some grassy hoppiness and dry bitterness. Crushable.
