First Furrow is our collaboration with Counter Weight Brewing of Hamden, CT. It was an honor welcoming Matt and Sean to our brewery and with a shared commitment to the style, we knew we had to brew a pilsner. Having recently taken delivery of new American oak foeders we felt particularly inspired by the Czech tradition of brewing into wood. Brewed with all Bohemian malt, it developed a slight oaky tannin quality from its fermentation in the foeder - an accent complimented by the light dry hop with lemony Czech Kazbek hops. It's a beer we’re thoroughly enjoying as we prepare for the bustle of Spring.

Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 5/3/18.
Clear brass-golden. Small smattering of white head sits at spotty cover.
Bready sourdough slowly gives way to light honey. Clean with rich mineral and lemon-pepper-like hop notes. Bright and aromtic with an excellent display of house character, hop and malt.
Expansive carbonation in the mouth sends lemon-pepper and light honey about the palate. Just a touch of cotton candy is the only detractor here. Great malts on the end with trailing bitterness. Sourdough lingering. Malty and dry with high attenuation and perhaps a bit too much bitterness, but it's not Americanized and only a bit fatiguing at the very end of the glass. Cotton candy and bitterness continue to build, but otherwise this is excellent.
