It's a well known fact that the apex of beer is the Pilsner. A style we do not take lightly, but make lightly, Timing & Structure is our take on the classic German Pilsner using only the best ingredients imported from Europe and adapt our process to make what we think is a great stateside representation of the legendary style celebrating all of its delicate complexity. While few things can come close to drinking Pilsner in a beer hall in Germany, most examples we get in the good ol' U.S. of A have spent quite some time crossing the Atlantic and then sitting on store shelves while people instead grab coconut blueberry matcha maple milkshake Double IPAs with someone else's art on the label. While fresh and lively this beer has a distinct noble hop aroma and moderate bitterness to balance out the perceived sweet notes from the German Pilsner malt. In the case of Timing & Structure we use a restrained amount of noble hops to kick up notes of fresh cut grass, orange blossom, and birch bark; dancing in perfect harmony with mild honey, hazelnut, and bready notes from the German Pilsner malt. We dream of the day we can have just as many Pilsners on tap as we do IPAs, but until that day Timing & Structure will be our shifty beer until it's gone.

Pours a clear golden with 1" white head into an old Sierra Nevada ESB pint glass out on the front porch while grilling, Summer 2022. I just added the beer to the database over 6 months later, but I'm also writing a review unlike some of those sociopaths who just add beers. For shame.
The aroma goes hard on the traditional aspects, no proprietary hops up in here. Lots of grain and lager yeast smells and I'm here for it. Sure there's those Saaz like hops, but for once, hops is a distant third in the aroma department.
Taste brings on a slightly breadier than expected journey, starts leaning into helles territory almost. But the grain is still pushing big for size, the bittering hops are gentle, the yeast dry sulphur notes persist, with the bass and treble down. The mouthfeel isn't as crisp as expected given the heavier bready component. But all in all, its still a pretty good beer. Little lemon florality mineral edge to it. Wouldn't hesitate to get it again.
