Our spin off of a classic German Pils profile. We try to create this lager as refreshing as possible by making it clean, dry & crisp, while toning down the hop bitterness towards the lower end of spec. Tastes like sun rays poking through clouds, shining down on the reservoirs of Pikes Peak where our water comes from.

Yep, it’s a lager. Nice barley grain flavor. Clear pale yellow and fairly crisp. Some bitter hops on the finish. Not bad.

Clear, golden body; dense carbonation; fair head, one-finger thick, bone-white, sudsy. Fantastic cereal grain smell; very faint herbal note. The taste presents a wheat cracker-like flavor; mineral-like character; relatively low hop bitterness; clean. Medium-light body; crisp; slight carbonation prickliness on the tongue.

This is a nicely balanced, easy drinking beer. It would excel during the warm summer months but satisfies on the colder, darker late Fall months, too.
