Pilsner 5 º

Icarus Brewing

Furio is a nuanced Italian-style Pilsner that bridges traditional European lager brewing with modern dry-hopping techniques. Built on a base of Belgian Pilsner Malt and a touch of German Melanoidin, it offers a sophisticated grainy sweetness and toasted cracker depth. The hop profile is elegantly layered, featuring the floral and spicy notes of German Tettnanger in the kettle, followed by a bright, herbal punch from a cold-side dry hop of Czech Saaz. Extended lagering ensures a crisp, clean finish that accentuates the firm bitterness, making it a refreshing, hop-forward interpretation of the German Pilsner style.

Appearance. Deep yellow color (3-4 SRM). Displays a slight haze consistent with its unfiltered nature, topped by a creamy, long-lasting white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate-high hop intensity featuring prominent flowery, spicy, and herbal notes. A low to medium grainy-sweet malt character is present, with subtle toasted cracker and honey undertones. Clean fermentation profile without esters.

Taste. Initial grainy malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by a firm hop bitterness and flavors of spicy Tettnanger and herbal Saaz. The mid-palate shows a light toasted cracker depth. It concludes with a very dry, crisp, and clean finish, leaving a lingering bitterness and a touch of flinty minerality.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation. Provides a crisp and refreshing sensation without being heavy or harsh. Alcohol warmth is negligible.
