Kingpin reimagines the German Pils by layering a robust malt foundation against a modern hop profile. A blend of Cara, Munich, Pale, and Pilsner malts creates a significant initial wave of bready, toasted sweetness. This is quickly challenged by a juggernaut of Magnum and Perle hops, which impart sharp spicy and distinct citrus notes across the palate. Cold-conditioned for five weeks, it retains the style's signature crispness while delivering a more assertive bitterness than industrial lagers. The result is a clean, refreshing, yet flavor-forward lager with a lingering, punchy finish that elevates the traditional base.

Appearance. Deep yellow to gold in color (3-4 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a dense, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring herbal and spicy notes from Perle, with a secondary citrusy brightness. The malt presence is low to moderate, offering grainy-sweet, doughy, and light honeyed scents derived from Munich and Cara malts. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. An initial impact of grainy, toasted malt is rapidly overcome by a firm hop bitterness. Flavors of spice and citrus from the Magnum and Perle hops dominate the mid-palate. The finish is very dry and crisp, with a clean, assertive bitterness that lingers pleasantly into the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation, providing a crisp and refreshing texture. Not heavy or syrupy; features a clean, smooth finish without any harshness or noticeable alcohol warmth.
