Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel

This modern interpretation of a German Pilsner infuses traditional Bavarian lager brewing with a vibrant, dry-hopped fruitiness. A brilliant, straw-gold pour yields a thick, persistent white head, releasing a refreshing bouquet of bright citrus and succulent peach layered over a clean, cracker-like continental Pilsner malt backbone. The palate mirrors this harmony, starting with a soft, doughy sweetness that is quickly swept away by a crisp, moderate hop bitterness and expressive, modern fruit flavors. Light-bodied, highly carbonated, and beautifully dry, it balances the snappy finish of a classic pale lager with an uplifting, contemporary fruity twist.

Appearance. Brilliant straw to pale gold (approximately 3 SRM) with pristine clarity and a dense, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves delicate, web-like lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderately high, expressive aroma showcasing a modern twist of citrus peel and ripe peach from late dry-hopping, harmonizing with traditional spicy and floral notes. Beneath the hops lies a low, clean, sweet-grainy, cracker-like malt presence with a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression of clean, grainy-sweet cracker malt is quickly overtaken by a vibrant wave of citrus and peach hop flavors. Bitterness is moderate but firm, keeping the balance crisp and leading into a dry, highly attenuated, and exceptionally clean finish. A delicate touch of minerally crispness and lingering floral hops defines the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Carbonation is moderately high, lending a lively prickle on the tongue. Smooth and clean, with a gentle, barely noticeable alcohol warmth that is very well integrated.
