Inspired by the true story of the first Bavarian pilsner to make its way to the west coast of the US and soak up a ton of new world hops. Cooler Runnings “West Coast Pilsner”, a Black Raven and Icicle Brewing collaboration. Brewed with Columbus, Nugget, Strata, Citra, Motueka & Nectaron Hops, and lagered to perfection.

Hops: Columbus, Nugget, Strata, Citra, Motueka & Nectaron Hops

Low carbonation, thin head.
Overall taste is pretty good, like a hoppy lager..ish, cold ipa maybe?
Slightly fresh hop smell, with a little sweetness on the finish.

I’d drink it again.

Draft at Saddle Rock. Clear golden pour, small, thin white foamy head. Nice hoppy aroma, recalls a cold IPA. Taste is grainy, but the hops take center stage, including some dank notes. Not quite a pils, closer to an IPL.
