Our USA-focused Hop City 2025 collaboration sees us brew a dry, crisp Italian-style pilsner with New Hampshire’s Schilling Beer Co. Indie Hops’ Lorien® and Audacia® build a bouquet of wildflower, honeydew, berry and lavender notes with a zingy citrus zest and dry, bitter finish.

Brewed using White Labs’ WLP830 German Lager Yeast.

Can. A light haze on this slightly pale gold beer, tidy whitish head. Airy palate, smooth, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth malt base, sweetish. Lovely Audacia hops bringing all sorts of layered floral things with a nice light backdrop of honey. Touch of berry fruits in the mid and then a mildly juicy citrus backend, mild lime. Whispers of bitterness and hop spice on the light finish. Could be crisper for a pils but, that's a nit pick, the hoppage here is a complete delight. Audacia is a superstar.

440ml can. Clear yellow gold, big white head. Aroma of sweet bready malts, zesty citrus, floral. Taste starts with sweet bready malts, floral hops, very zesty citrus and a fairly strong bitterness and dry finish.

Rhine Falls in Switzerland are the most powerful waterfalls in Europe. Clear glowing golden. Sugary crisp pils flowing here, decent.
