Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of warm baked bread, honey dew melon, and lemon preserves on a croissant with a silky, bright, finely carbonated, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish with impressions of fresh cracked barley, sweet brussels sprout, and honeyed filo dough with a touch of lemon. A light and super crisp Pilsner with nice length and depth of toasty, hoppy flavor.

About
Pilsner
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.
