Mikkeller Velvet Oat Pilsner
Pilsner 4.7 º
Mikkeller Velvet Oat Pilsner reimagines the classic German Pils by introducing the signature silky texture found in their iconic oatmeal stouts. This pale gold lager leads with high-intensity aromas of spicy and herbal hops, layered over a foundation of grainy-sweet malt and hints of toasted cracker. While traditional examples are crisp and flinty, the addition of oats softens the palate, creating a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel that balances the firm, lingering bitterness. Clean lager fermentation ensures a refreshing finish, where floral hop notes dance against a rounded, creamy body, bridging the gap between refreshing crispness and satisfying weight.
Appearance. Straw to deep yellow (2-4 SRM) with a brilliant clarity and a dense, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring spicy and herbal hop character. The malt profile is low to medium with notes of grainy-sweet dough, light honey, and toasted crackers, supported by a very clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial grainy malt flavor is quickly met by a firm hop bitterness and herbal hop notes. The mid-palate shows a unique smoothness from the oats, though the finish remains dry and crisp. Bitterness is medium-high and lingers into the aftertaste alongside floral hop accents.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a notable velvety and creamy texture from the oats. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing snap without being harsh or flinty.
