We bring you the delicate profile of a good pilsner. It leaves nowhere to hide. For Scratch #379, hot-steep tests with four grains pointed us to a pilsen malt that struck the right balance between earthy straw notes and a clean finish. One pound per barrel of Saaz, the quintessential Noble Hop, adds a delicate herbal layer. Finally, we krausened this beer, adding wort and fresh yeast as it finished up fermentation to create a soft, bready mouthfeel. When every ingredient comes through just-so, it's pilsner perfection. You'll be impressed with flowering herbs, fruity esters and earthy straw. ~the Troegs Brewers group.
