In a world of hazy + fruited beers, sometimes you just need a reality check. Our take on the classic Czech Pils uses a trifecta of Hallertau Tradition, Saphir + Sterling hops along with a 100% German grain bill to create a clean malt flavor and a crisp floral finish. After the first sip, it’ll be clear you’ve got an extremely easy drinker on your hands.
