Shortlist is a refined interpretation of a German Pils, presented with the rustic charm of an unfiltered lager. At its heart, the bready and doughy essence of Continental Pilsner malt provides a soft foundation for an assertive, flowery hop presence characteristic of traditional German hops. Despite its raw, unfiltered state, the beer remains exceptionally clean and crisp, delivering a snap of firm bitterness that defines the style. Notes of toasted cracker and a hint of wildflower honey dance across the palate, balanced by a flinty, dry finish. It is a highly drinkable, sessionable lager that prioritizes hop aromatics and a refreshing, bitter bite.
Appearance.Straw to pale gold (3 SRM). Being unfiltered, it displays a slight, uniform haze. Topped with a dense, creamy white head that exhibits excellent persistence and intricate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent spicy and floral hop notes. The malt backbone provides a supporting role of fresh-baked crackers and light doughy sweetness. Fermentation is clean with no esters.
Taste.The initial impression of grainy-sweet malt is quickly overcome by a medium-high bitterness. Traditional German hop flavors of dried herbs and wildflowers dominate the mid-palate. Finishes decisively dry and crisp with a lingering, clean hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation. The texture is smooth yet crisp, featuring a slight minerally snap without any harshness or alcohol warmth.
