Collaboration with Alvarado Street Brewery
These contents are born in the tides of bone-crushing forces. A remembrance of the undercurrent that nearly sweeps us under. And a celebration for the imprint of an endless existence. A lesson in self-interest with our buds at Alvarado Street Brewery. Mashed with craft pils malt from Admiral Malting. Conditioned to perfection and then double dry-hopped with Alvarado's hand-selected Motueka and Aramis hops. Enjoyed mercilessly.

A: The beer is very hazy light pale yellow in color. It poured with a finger high bright white head that settled down, but consistently left a thick coating of bubbles covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of herbal hops are present in the nose - basil and rosemary seem to stand out in particular.
T: The taste follows the smell but the herbal hops aren't nearly as prominent and there are subtle hints of orange citrus. A light amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and slightly smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This pilsener has a very interesting hop profile. I really liked the basil and rosemary in the smell.

Poured from can into glass. Label art is full 5/5. Pours a staw yellow with substantial foam that lingers. Aroma is on the gentle side for a dry hopped beer with a bit of pine resin and citrus. Hop flavor dominates with a soft malty backbone. Medium-full body. Very satisfying, another excellent lager from Asheville. Definitely not as crisp as a typical German beer but with a lot more depth of flavor.

This is such a hard beer to classify and figure out. Bottom line though is that it is super tasty and easy to drink . Incredibly sessionable. No bitterness, not that crisp like a pilsner. Hops are not IPA like nor pilsener either. So not sure its even an IPL. Soft mouthfeel. Has a sweetness from malts but balanced well with hops. Not that aromatic. Body is full and not watery either. I can't really explain this beer but its super easy to drink. Highly recommend.

A: Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright yellow + faint pale golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a medium sized medium thick cap in the center of the glass surrounded by a large patch of thin film and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of citrus/lime zest, citrus/orange pith, grassy, and herbal hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of bready + biscuit + cereal grain malts with a light hint of grainy sweetness. Light aromas of lager yeast.
T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of bready + biscuit + cereal grain malts with a light hint of grainy sweetness. Light flavors of lager yeast. That is followed by moderate flavors of citrus/lime zest, citrus/orange pith, grassy, and herbal hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away relatively quickly leaving a clean finish.
M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Lightly crisp with a clean finish.
O: Easy to drink, crisp, clean, and refreshing with well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable lager with an interesting hop profile and one that I could easily see myself having again and again after being at the beach, pool, and out on the boat with the kids today.

Can stamped 02JUL2019
Lightly hazed straw yellow under a slowly deflating white head of lumpy foam. Delicate hop nose...lime creamsicle, noble hops, and subtle biscuit. Crisp flavors of lime zest, grass, light flowers, and some grain on the swallow. Medium-light and properly crisp and drinkable - could use just a touch more carbonation. Good stuff though, keeps the lagers coming!
