Brewed in collaboration with BSG and HVG hop Cooperative. A hop forward German style pils, brewed with 100% Saphir hops. A single decoction mash using 100% Weyermann pils malt, hopped all the way through with Saphir-in the decoction boil, first wort, late in the boil, and in the whirlpool. Malt presence is subdued to allow these hops to shine, and shine they do. Subtle citrus and lemon tea accent the otherwise noble character, blending nicely with the mild honey contribution of the malt.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: yellow color with a good transparency about it, three finger foamy white head dissipated to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral, citrusy and grassy hop notes with a clean biscuity maltiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a nice sweet to semi-bitter quality; finishes floral and citrusy
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, good carb level, some smoothness, light dryness
Overall: another one of those pilseners that seems like a cross between a German pils and a Czech pils. I could still come back to this.
