Foeder-fermented Pilsner brewed with Weyermann Pilsner Malt and a touch of Weyermann Vienna, hopped with German hops for a floral and spicy balance. We're tasting grassy lemon pitch, a particularly oaky pile of straw, a mellifluous bouquet of summer flowers, and that little burst of citrus oil you get when peeling an orange.

Pours a cloudy bright golden color. Thick, frothy white head forms on the beer, mountainous in appearance, lingers a bit, then slowly dissipates leaving a thin residual layer of velvety foam. Aroma has notes of straw, lemon hops, grass and some subtle oaky notes on the finish. Taste follows the nose - notes of straw, sweet malt, lemon and light citrus notes from the hops. Feel is light, easy drinking, a bit doughy. Overall it's a nice, unique pilsner.
