Simian Ales

This German Pils elegantly bridges tradition and modern brewing by pairing a classic Continental Pilsner malt base with a sophisticated hop blend. Hallertau Perle, Mittelfrüh, and Hersbrucker establish a foundational aroma of noble spice, dried herbs, and floral meadows, while a contemporary addition of Hallertau Blanc introduces subtle nuances of white grape and elderflower. The palate is defined by a clean, grainy-sweet malt character reminiscent of toasted crackers, which is swiftly countered by a firm, assertive bitterness. This lager finishes bone-dry and crisp, offering a refreshing, snappy character that honors its heritage while providing a unique, vinous complexity from the modern hop selection.

Appearance. Deep straw to pale gold (2–4 SRM); brilliant clarity with a tall, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity featuring herbal spice, floral notes, and a distinct hint of white wine and gooseberry. Low grainy-sweet malt character with light honey and doughy accents. Exceptionally clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial light cracker and grainy malt flavors are quickly overtaken by a medium-high hop bitterness. Flavors of spicy herbs and floral blossoms are complemented by a touch of elderflower. The balance is decidedly bitter, leading into a crisp, dry finish with a lingering mineral snap and clean aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation, providing a lively and refreshing prickly sensation. No alcohol warmth; smooth with a slight flinty sharpness that enhances the dry finish.
