When we linked up with our new friends at Resident Culture we knew a classic German Pils brew was in order. A mash up of our favorite lager techniques led to a Pilsner that we absolutely adore. We started with a 100% Barke Pils grain bill, a traditional summer brewing barley variety grown and malted in Germany. We step mashed this into 4 different temp ranges allowing us to run the spectrum on flavors and mouthfeel only achieved by this process. Mash and Wort acidification utilizing 100% natural sour wort. Boiled for a healthy amount of time with German grown Tradition hops providing the backbone of our bitterness. We then hopped it throughout the boil and whirlpool with Saaz, Saphire and Tettnanger.

Pours a nearly crystal-clear lemon-gold body topped with just shy of two fingers of fluffy, airy, white foam; great head retention leaves a wavy finger of cap, a thin, frothy collar, and sudsy webs of lacing caked generously along the walls of the glass.
Aromas of boggy grains are predominant upfront, slowly refining to notes of fresh straw enlivened further with musty lemon; wet hay trails a persistent earthy quality, while clean minerality meets white bread dough on the closing impressions of the bouquet.
Taste opens to sensations of wheat bread dough with a lemon accent, while wet hay presents a boggy earthiness over the mid-palate and grassy hops become steadily apparent into the back end, leaving fresh white bread crusts lingering to finish.
Mouthfeel shows a light body along with a spritzy, moderate-high carbonation dispersing to produce a taut texture, clean over the mid-palate until a mossy bitterness grazes the back end; the finish is equal parts drying, crisp, and refreshing.
The diversity in grain is felt throughout, cohesively structured and exuberant in its depth of expression; a refined pilsner ambitiously enacting a conscious elevation of traditional guidance.
