Our sweet little Gil is brewed with Barke Pilsner malt from Weyermann, the preeminent German maltster, German Hallertau Mittelfruh hops, and the noblest of German lager yeast. Like all our German beers, Gil’s Pils is brewed in reverence to traditional German brewing techniques. A complex step and decoction mash schedule provides a base wort that is fermented and lagered for almost three months before it finds its way into your glass. The result is a crisp, clean, and crushable Pils that is a perfect companion for all life’s adventures.

13.5 oz slow pour draft at Lua Brewing in Des Moines, Iowa. The pour is crystal clear golden, with a well built and lasting creamy one inch white head. The aroma is cereal grain malt, nice Saaz hop bitterness, and mineral. The taste is a clean, well balanced German Pils with the fresh cereal malt, the grassy floral gently bitter hops closing out with mineral. The palate is light bodied, crisp carbonation and a complex bitter mineral grass finish. Both this beer and Morning Light were very well made.

Bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is sweetish malts, almost papery, mild noble hops, a touch vegetal. Taste is the same, a bit cloying on the tongue. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Okay, not mind-blowing.
