Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of toasted sour dough, citrus, frosting, and garden herb with a satiny, crisp, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and a medium-length finish with notes of toast, citrus peel, vitamin c tablet, and mango and papaya with chalks. Crisp and traditional with a soft, sweet nose that dives into a minerally bitterness on the palate and makes a great refreshing Pilsner fit for a hot summer day or even a crisp fall afternoon in a biergarten.

Pilsners are pale to golden straw in color and range in alcohol from 4.5-6%. The hallmark of a fresh pilsner is a dense, white head. The alcohol levels must be such as to give a rounded mouthfeel. These beers are medium-bodied and are characterized by high carbonation and tangy Czech and German varieties of hops that impart floral aromas and a crisp, bitter finish. This style originated in Bohemia in the Czech Republic. German pilsner styles are similar, though often slightly lighter in body and color. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Pilsner Urquell, Paulaner Premium Pils, Brooklyn Brewery Brooklyn Pilsner and Victory Prima Pils.
