Nova Runda Small Batch Series: 43 DDH Pilsner
This modern interpretation of a German Pils delivers a sensory collision between traditional lager structure and contemporary hop intensity. The foundational Pilsner malt provides a clean, cracker-like canvas for an expressive double dry-hopping of Styrian Kolibri and Mosaic. These hops transform the typical floral profile into a vibrant display of blackcurrant, tropical fruit, and citrus. While it maintains the classic, sharp bitterness and high attenuation expected of the style, the aromatic depth is markedly elevated. The result is a crisp, refreshing lager that bridges the gap between European tradition and the fruit-forward complexity of modern craft brewing.
Appearance. SRM 3-4. Straw to deep yellow with a brilliant clarity, though a very faint haze may persist from the heavy dry-hopping. Features a dense, creamy white head with excellent retention and lacing.
Aroma. High aromatic intensity. Distinctive hop-forward character showcasing Mosaic’s notes of mango, citrus, and blueberry, paired with the unique floral and blackcurrant qualities of Styrian Kolibri. Low grainy, doughy, and cracker-like malt presence. Impeccably clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial light grainy-sweet malt flavor is rapidly overtaken by a firm, assertive hop bitterness. Hop flavors mirror the aroma with prominent tropical fruit, berry, and herbal notes. The balance is decidedly bitter and hop-centric. Finishes very dry and crisp with a clean, lingering bitterness and a touch of mineral sharpness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. High carbonation provides a lively, prickly sensation on the tongue. Smooth with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
