Collab with Wayfinder
Last year, we brewed our first ever wet hop pilsner and HOLY SHIT HOW DID IT TAKE US THIS LONG. Following in the tradition, we brought in a brilliant friend - Natalie Rose Baldwin of Wayfinder Beer - to elevate this lager collab beer to the next level. A blend of pilsner malts, plus a bag of spelt to soften up the base beer so that we could load it up with both wet AND fresh kilned Tettnang from Goschie Farms. We gave it 5 cold weeks - young for us - but when you’re working with wet hops, freshness is of the imperative essence! We get notes of lemon zest, fresh cut grass, & cucumber peel upon a rounded, leafy mid palate and minerally, crisp, dry finish.

16oz can served in a big snifter. Can't read the date for sure but I think it was canned 09/17/24. Bought it at Ridgewood about two weeks ago.
Pours clear light amber-yellow with a medium sized head that settles quickly into a big, wide, but thin island with a fairly generous ring around the edge. Smell is dank, yeasty, lemon and pine.
Taste is right there along with it, bit more of a bready sweetness than I was expecting, a bit more of a resin kick than I was expecting, very well balanced but on the light side.
Mouthfeel is light and clean and crisp. Overall, very good.

Pours a slightly foggy lemon-gold hue capped with multiple fingers of fluffy, eggshell-white foam; great head retention peters out with a steady effervescence, leaving a slim cap, large, sudsy collar, and ample rings of chunky, soapy lacing encircling the walls of the glass.
Aromas of freshly cut grass and snappy water crackers open, with subtle grapefruit accents building and tinges of orange oils exploring an increasingly subdued citrus depth.
Taste offers wet grass and ample background florality florality as tinges of dank mustiness progress and grapefruit pith lingers past the mid-palate; quiet notes of water cracker meet a bright, pseudo-lemony pop on the back end as a resinous tingle meanders past the swallow.
Mouthfeel brings a light body and moderate-full carbonation, with a prickly fluff leveling to crispness over the mid-palate, leaving delicate bittering and resins gliding over the back end to a clean finish.
Effortless transitions breed clean simplicity and elevated brightness in this extensively quaffable, fresh-hop pilsner.
