This refreshing German Pils showcases a modern hop profile while maintaining a classic lager backbone. Brewed with Saphir and Motueka hops, it offers an elegant bouquet of delicate floral notes and zesty lime citrus. The light pilsner malt base provides a crisp, cracker-like foundation that supports the vibrant hop character without becoming heavy. A lively burst of lemon-lime leads into a snappy, clean finish characteristic of the style. At a sessionable 4.5% ABV, it balances moderate bitterness with high carbonation, making it a bright and effortless example of a contemporary European-style lager.
