The German Reinheitsgebot (German beer law) has been updated several times over the centuries. One of the most recent updates (2012) finally allowed dry hopping! While we brewed this Pilsner with heirloom German Pilsner malt, we dry hopped it with American-grown Sterling. Sterling is a hybrid of German, Czech, and American varieties and inherits herbal-spice from the European parentage to go with citrusy notes.

L: Somewhat clear pale yellow, 2 finger stark white head, sticky foam has good retention and leaves a bit of lace, lively pour.

F: Light-medium body, high carbonation, crisp feel with a frothy finish.
O: Representative, easy drinking, leaves you wanting another.
