Radical Shift is a modern evolution of the German Pils, presenting as a vibrant India Pale Lager that marries traditional lager crispness with bold, contemporary hop expression. The use of Sabro and Ekuanot hops introduces a sophisticated layer of tropical fruit and citrus intensity to the clean, grainy-sweet foundation of Continental malt. Aromas of coconut, lime, and melon mingle with a subtle toasted cracker malt backbone. On the palate, a firm, enhanced bitterness asserts itself quickly, followed by a refreshing, bone-dry finish. This medium-light bodied lager remains impeccably clean, showcasing a brilliant golden clarity and a snappy, effervescent mouthfeel that defines the India Pale Lager experience.
Appearance.Straw to deep gold; brilliant clarity; features a large, creamy, long-lasting white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward character from Sabro and Ekuanot, displaying notes of coconut, citrus, and tropical fruit. Low grainy-sweet malt presence with hints of toasted cracker and honey. Clean lager fermentation with no esters or phenols.
Taste.Initial grainy-sweet malt flavor is rapidly overtaken by assertive hop bitterness. Prominent flavors of lime, melon, and tropical fruit lead into a very dry, crisp finish. Bitterness is firm and lingering but not harsh, supported by a clean, minerally aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body; medium-high carbonation provides a crisp, refreshing snap. Very smooth with no astringency and a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
