EP Pils is a classic pilsner brewed with the finest German barley & Czech hops that money can buy. It's as dry & crisp as a German Pilsner with the bold flavors & aromatics of a Czech Pilsner.
EP Pils is cold fermented with a strain of lager yeast isolated from the world's oldest brewery located in Bavaria, Germany. We utilize a special pressurized fermentation method to suppress ester production which ultimately produces a much cleaner, crisper, grain-forward lager. The CO2 captured during the pressurized fermentation naturally carbonates the beer which produces a much tighter mouthfeel due to smaller bubbles of CO2 being dissolved in the beer. After fermentation, EP Pils is extensively lagered in stainless steel tanks at 33°F for over a month until optimal crushability is achieved.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is bready and grassy. Med body. Somewhat creamy texture. Dry. Bready malt more than balanced by grass/spice. Bitterness persists. IMHO it's not low bitterness. Really good.

Split a 16oz can. Poured a golden color with a small fizzy head. Aroma was grain, some light bready notes. Slightly sweet malt, but not overly sweet. Flavor had a pleasant earthy and grassy character, with some light hop notes. Light bitterness.
