This hoppy lager elevates the classic German Pils framework with a bold dry-hop addition of Mosaic hops. It pours a brilliant straw gold, releasing a high-intensity bouquet of blueberry, tropical fruit, and citrus that melds seamlessly with a light, cracker-like malt backbone. On the palate, the lean, doughy malt presence provides a clean canvas for the Mosaic to shine, offering flavors of tangerine and berries against a firm, crisp bitterness. Highly attenuated and refreshingly dry, it finishes with a lingering, minerally snap, maintaining the precise fermentation character of a traditional lager while showcasing modern aromatic intensity.
