Gateway to the West Coast Pilsner
4 Hands Brewing Co.

 

Poured from a can. Very light in color with a white foamy head and lacing. Smells of bread, honey, and a hint of fruit. Flavors of cracker, grass, fruit and a sort of peppery finish. Crisp refreshing, good.

Pours a dark-ish yellow with a heavy fog to the translucency. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is crackers, wafers, bread, and grassy, spicy, zesty hops. It's very mild, hitting dry malts and a brief glimpse of earthy, grassy hops. Flavor profile is crackers, wafers, biscuits, and heavy bready malts right at the close. Malts start flaky and thin, but turn to a more bold note at the finish. Hop flavors show up in shades of grassy, earthy, and semi-zesty. Pretty clean on the finish, with hops lingering just a little bit, killing some of the dryness at close. Mouth feel is medium-thin with a watery, semi-crisp texture. Overall, a semi-dry pilsner with light hop play over mild malts.

Served in a 2023 AM membership glass from a 16oz can.
