Jasmine Pearl Pils was brewed for the annual Fruit Beer Festival. The base beer is similar to the Engelberg but uses a different base malt and alternate lager yeast that still shows plenty of character. The two beers differ even more in that the JPP has dried lemons and Townshend's Dragon Pearl Jasmine tea added, both in the kettle and post-fermentation. The resulting beer has a beautiful aroma that plays well with the pils malt flavor, and the slightly increased acidity from the citrus makes for a soft, refreshing finish.

Growler from the brewery.

A clear light yellow with a dense, white head with decent retention and lacing. The nose is bright and floral, more so than Engelberg, with the jasmine tea really noticeable, lending a combination of floral and tannic tea notes to the nose. Mildly lemony as well, along with some grass and hay. The palate opens quite floral with a blend of jasmine, tea, lemons and some mild hop bitterness. The mid-palate accentuates the floral characteristics. Drying, mildly grassy/tannic on the finish (from the tea?), this beer is moderately carbonated. The tea does hide the beautifully crisp and snappy palate. All told, a step down from Engelberg, but definitely a solid pilsner
