Lilliwaup Lager is a sessionable tribute to the Munich Helles style, showcasing a distinct Northwest terroir. The sensory experience is led by the rich, grainy-sweet character of Bow Pilsner malt, which provides a soft, bready foundation and a rustic cereal-like depth. Subtle floral and delicate berry-like accents from Monroe hops offer a gentle counterpoint to the malt-forward profile without overwhelming the delicate balance. It pours a brilliant pale gold with a persistent creamy white head. The palate is clean and rounded, emphasizing a smooth maltiness that transitions into a refreshing, grainy finish. Low bitterness and a well-lagered character make this bright lager exceptionally approachable.
Appearance.Brilliant pale gold with excellent clarity. Topped by a dense, persistent creamy white head with fine bubbles and good retention.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring rich grainy-sweet malt aromas reminiscent of fresh bread and cereal from the Bow Pilsner malt. Hop aroma is low, offering soft floral and mild berry-like notes characteristic of Monroe hops. Exceptionally clean fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial impression is moderately malty with a soft suggestion of sweetness. Pronounced grainy-sweet malt flavors dominate the mid-palate, supported by a low, restrained bitterness. Monroe hops contribute subtle herbal and soft fruit nuances. The finish is soft, dry, and clean, with a lingering grainy malt character rather than hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, well-lagered texture. Moderate carbonation provides a refreshing, bright sensation. Zero alcohol warmth and no astringency, resulting in a very high level of drinkability.
