The “Alsatian-” in the title refers to a fun lil’ hop called Strisselspalt, native to the Alsace region of France. This varietal is super low in alpha acids and embodies classic noble hop characteristics with floral, herbal, and subtle citrus notes.

We used malt from a small family farm in Oregon (editor's note: Mecca Grade). It’s the base for almost all Temporal beers, just beautifully expressive grain expertly grown and malted. That’s where the “-American” in the title comes from.

These two ingredients (plus water and yeast) make up this crispy boi, with the malt contributing grassy notes and the hops layering on a bit of nuance without being overbearing. The mellow bitterness allows the malt character and terroir to take centre stage, letting the unique qualities of this ingredient shine.

On tap at Darby's, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crackery and cereal malts. Flavour is grainy, with straw and cereal malts, with crisp crackery malt. Grainy and lacking any crispness or punch. Pretty lame pils.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish blonde with small white head. Doughy malt, very feint sour yeast.

Draught at the Alibi Room, Vancouver
Blond colour, chill haze. Light aroma of bread and wet paper. Gentle carbonation, it would maybe boost the malt flavour, if there were any, actually it's very simple, just a faint flavour of malt, and the hopping doesn't offer much either, and eventually it ends quite flat in all terms, short finish. Clean, but leaves much to be desired.

Can. Hazy, not much head. Not the most pilsnery of pilsner appearances. Smells yeasty, too. Something happened in the fermentation. On the palate, more yeasty than anything else. Doughy, the malts are not hitting at all, and the strisselspalt is nearly absent. Don't know if this wasn't lagered long enough - seems like it wasn't - or not mashed appropriately, but this seems way off in execution.
