Apropils is our take on a crisp and snappy Italian-style Pilsner that we lagered on Spalt Select hops for about four weeks to amplify their zesty, lemony character.

I am sampling a chilled 16 oz can poured into a pilsner glass. Date stamp is 2/14/2023.
Beer pours a crystal clear golden color with a fluffy bleached white head of 3.5 cm that slowly fades to a sturdy covering. The foam leaves windowpane lattice as it fades on my glass. There are lots of active streams of carbonation rising towards the surface.
Aroma is some cereal malt and light fruit, white grape I think. I also get some herbal tea hops lingering in the background. Light and appealing nose on this pils.
First sip reveals a light body with smooth texture and very fine slightly tingly carbonation. Beer drinks very easy on the physical traits.
Flavor is what I expect based on the style and nose. I get some cereal and biscuity malts, again a little light fruit, white grapes come to mind here too. There is some grassy and herbal tea hop on the finish and this leads to a dry finish and the bite lingers after each swallow.
A nice tasty pils. Meant to drink it during the Online Pils Tasting, but too many beers and not enough time!

Clear yellow brew with plenty of white foam in the Troubadour tulip. Pleasant perfumey aroma. Lively mouthfeel with a creamy carbonation. There's a touch of resins along with the grape flavor. I give this credit for having more flavor than I would have thought from an "Italian" Pilsner. It's highly drinkable and interesting. Long aftertaste of grapes with the sweetness still on the lips. Just a bit of hoppy scratch and not really bitter as such. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station.
