Bishop Nick Latimer is a masterfully crafted German Pils that exemplifies clean, small-batch alchemy. Pouring a brilliant, pale gold, it greets the nose with a high-intensity bouquet of flowery and spicy German hops, complemented by the herbal snap of Polish hops. The foundation of premium Pilsner malt provides a delicate backdrop of toasted crackers and light honey. Patient tank-lagering ensures a crisp, pristine fermentation profile. On the palate, a refined bitterness balances the grainy sweetness, leading to a bone-dry, thirst-quenching finish. This gluten-free lager captures a refreshing mineral sharpness and a sparkling effervescence that defines the classic style.
