Yellow color. Aromas and flavors of honey butter, warm biscuit, caramel, and orange and pineapple with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish with notes of buttered biscuit, lemon zest, sea salt and herbs, and lime pith. A beautiful Pilsner with a delicate, rounded mouth feel of rich, buttery sweet grains; great depth of flavor here.

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.
