This refreshing brew combines the clean, classic snap of a pilsner with a bold, hop-forward punch of citrus, pine, and floral aromas. So crack one open, follow your nose, and hit the Hop Trail.
Tasting Notes: Expect vibrant aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit zest, and dank pine layered over a clean, crackery malt base. The finish is dry and snappy, with just enough bitterness to keep you coming back for the next sip.

Gold pour, some chill haze, steady white foam head. Nose is citrus.

Taste sees grapefruit (with the pith), Pils, medium reainy pine, dry cracker. Mouth feel is light and dry. Finish is crisp with some pine a d citrus hop length. They call this a West Coast Pils, but leans more to an IPL for me.
