Work Play Pils delivers a refined yet assertive expression of the German Pils style. This hoppy lager opens with an inviting bouquet of floral and spicy Noble hop notes, underpinned by a delicate, doughy sweetness from Continental Pilsner malt. On the palate, a crisp, cracker-like malt foundation is swiftly overtaken by a firm, clean bitterness that defines the style's refreshing character. The finish is remarkably dry and brisk, accented by a subtle minerality that cleanses the tongue. It strikes a masterfully balanced profile where the hop-forward intent of Prison City meets the traditional elegance of a bright, effervescent, and highly drinkable pale lager.
