This unique German Pils variant balances traditional European lager crispness with distinct modern influences. Brewed with buckwheat, it offers a gentle malt backbone that is subtly enriched by earthy, nutty undertones. The addition of Cascade hops provides a bright, crisp citrus aroma that deviates from traditional noble hop spice, adding a refreshing layer of grapefruit and floral notes. It presents a light yet full-bodied profile, where the initial doughy sweetness is quickly overtaken by a firm, clean bitterness. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, characterized by a lingering nutty nuance and a clean, lager fermentation profile that emphasizes refreshment.
Appearance.Brilliant straw to deep yellow (3-4 SRM). Displays a creamy, long-lasting white head with excellent retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. The bouquet is dominated by the citrusy and floral notes of Cascade hops, backed by a unique grainy, nutty aroma from the buckwheat. A low, doughy, sweet malt character persists in the background with a very clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Initial grainy-sweet malt flavors are rapidly superseded by a sharp, citrusy hop flavor and a medium-high bitterness. The buckwheat contributes a distinctive nutty complexity that persists into the finish. It concludes very dry and crisp with a lingering floral hop presence and a clean, minerally aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a refreshing, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a lively prickle on the tongue. Despite the 5.7% ABV, alcohol warmth is minimal and well-integrated.
