ReCraft RED PILS reimagines the classic German Pils with a vibrant, amber-hued soul. This collaboration yields a crisp lager defined by the interplay of specialty caramel malts and the distinctive Vermelho hop variety. The nose offers a clean fermentation profile layered with subtle toasted cracker and a unique burst of red berries and currants. On the palate, a firm bitterness characteristic of the style is softened by a touch of caramel sweetness before transitioning into a dry, minerally finish. It is a refreshing, light-bodied tribute to the wild steppes, balancing traditional European precision with modern fruit-forward hop character.
Appearance.Deep amber to soft carmine (approximately 10-14 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a dense, creamy, long-lasting off-white head that leaves persistent lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Forward notes of red currants and wild berries from the Vermelho hops, supported by a backbone of toasted cracker, light honey, and a hint of sweet caramel. Clean fermentation profile with no diacetyl or sulfur.
Taste.Initial crisp bitterness quickly meets a light bready and caramel malt sweetness. Hop flavors follow the aroma, featuring distinct red fruit notes. Medium-high bitterness (contextually 30-35 IBU) lingers into a clean, dry finish with a slight flinty minerality and toasted malt aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. High carbonation provides a lively, tongue-scrubbing effervescence. No alcohol warmth; smooth and highly sessionable without astringency.
