This beer features a newly developed hop from Germany: Aurum, latin for Gold. It combines the earthiness of classic noble German hops with the citrus notes present in many modern new world hops. We think we'll be seeing more of this hop going forward.

This is the first beer made in Canada with malt from Mainstem Malt, a small craft maltster based in Washington state whose mission is to build innovative malt supply chains in support of family farms, rural communities, and landscape-scale conservation. All farms supplying barley to Mainstem are Salmon Safe certified. It tastes really good too!

The label features a combination of the classic Temporal watercolour (painted by the wonderful @shell.ography ) and the classic Slow Hand aesthetic.

Hazy and pale. Medium head. Smells like doughy malts and herbaceous hops. Full body, a bit yeasty, low bitterness. The malts are still doughy. The hops, well, I miss the bitterness. The noble notes are okay but a bit faint. Not pilsner enough for the label.

Can at Weathered 2022. Clear pale blonde with small white head. Grassy, cracker malt, clean. Simple, but decent.

Can at Weathered 2022, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out grassiness, light herbal notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is clean, with light grassiness, crackery malt, and gentle herbal notes. Clean and pleasant but nothing special.

Can from Jak's Parkcrest, Burnaby
Blond colour, seems pale, with small head, it has some chill haze (3.5). Aroma of grass, hay, raw malt, husks; I was expecting more grass from an Hallertau derivate. Dry, the body is weaker than the average Pilsner/Helles in Germany, the malt offers some breadcrust (white bread), some raw cereals; balanced bitterness, but just some herbaceous character, lightly spicy, not the grassy expression of the best Hallertau; it has very light fruity notes.
I noticed that Aurum has been around for at least 13 years, and yet I count just 9 beers brewed with it, to date (on RB), maybe the hop is not spectacular…
Anyway, the beer is quite good.
