A collaboration with our pals at Lost Generation, Illusion of Drama came to life at Ocelot. 4.5% with a prickly bitterness, the West Coast Pilsner – our first rendition of the emerging style – features whirlpool additions of Vista, a USDA-bred hop with honeydew and papya character similar to Citra. As for the dry hop, it’s the same as the lager’s counterpart (Illusion of Truth, a West Coast IPA brewed at Lost Gen): an even mix of NZ Cascade and Wai-iti. And likewise just two grains make up Illusion of Drama: Weyermann’s pilsner and Carafoam barleys. Another clear night for the citrus and peach fireworks.

Can. Poured a clear dim yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was light lemon, herbal notes. Light grain, corn, with some grassy notes. Pleasant stuff.

Lots of grapefruit on the top here, some lemon. Golden pour with pretty good head and lacing. Finish is quite bitter. Nice balance here, and nice IPL or whatever we are calling it these days.

Clear gold, ring of white head. Nose is herbal and limey, some grist and corn. Flavor follows. Lime and oily hop over grist. Slick, dry, easy drinker. 7 3 7 4 13
