Mangurria 927 presents an organic take on the German Pils, delivering a refreshing profile defined by its cereal-forward base. The inclusion of organic Pilsen malt and rice flour provides a light, grainy character with a hint of toasted sweetness from Carahell and Caramunich malts. A clean fermentation using the Saflager W-34/70 strain ensures a crisp backdrop for the noble hop profile. Saphir provides a firm, clean bitterness, while Hallertau Hersbrucker contributes classic spicy and herbal aromas. This straw-colored lager finishes dry to medium-dry, balancing its moderate bitterness with a delicate malt sweetness for a highly sessionable, crisp experience.
Appearance.Straw to pale yellow (2-3 SRM). Somewhat cloudy or hazy appearance rather than brilliant. Topped with a white head that shows moderate to low retention.
Aroma.Moderate intensity. Distinctive spicy and herbal hop character from Hallertau Hersbrucker. Supporting notes of grainy, sweet, and doughy Pilsen malt. Clean fermentation profile, though a faint, initial sulfur note may be present before dissipating. No fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression of light, grainy malt sweetness and crackers. The balance quickly shifts to a firm hop bitterness from Saphir hops. Flavors of herbal and spicy noble hops are prominent mid-palate. Finishes dry to medium-dry with a crisp, clean lager character and a lingering, refreshing bitterness in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Medium carbonation provides a lively tingle on the tongue. No alcohol warmth; smooth and highly drinkable without any harshness or astringency.
