The last release of this month is a style that we fell in love with recently. Sahara - WestCoast Pilsner isn't just another hoppy lager. This truly blends the best of two worlds : The clean drinkable light bodied midstrength 5% german pilsner with the aggressive, bitter, bold and aromatic West Coast IPA.
Straight premium pilsen malt intertwining with resinous piney goodness with hints of pineapple and grapefruit.

The inoffensive look only plays into the whole scheme. A mirage turned beer.

440ml, can.
Taste is a bit more bitter than I expected, so the West Coast part is more in the body and finish. Nose is citrusy, hoppy (similar to a NEIPA).

Solid beer, I'd definitely recommend it to everyone! :)

Cytrusy, brzoskwinie, delikatna nafta. Barwa jasnozłota, przejrzyste, piana całkiem trwała, lacing obecny. Goryczka średnia do wysokiej z łodygowo-ziołowo-zestowa, w punkt. Wytrawne, lekkie choć pełne, chce się wziąć kolejny łyk, no świetne w swojej klasie. Brawo!
