This modern German Pils showcases a vibrant American twist on a classic continental style. Driven by the expressive character of Citra hops, the sensory profile opens with a burst of zesty grapefruit, lime peel, and a hint of tropical lychee, diverging from traditional herbal spice. Beneath these hop-forward aromatics, a base of Pilsner malt provides a clean, crackery foundation with a touch of honeyed sweetness. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the interplay between a crisp, minerally finish and a firm, integrated bitterness to shine. It is a refreshing, light-bodied lager that bridges the gap between old-world precision and West Coast aromatic intensity.
