This modern take on a German Pils bridges two brewing worlds by blending traditional precision with contemporary hop character. Mandarina Bavaria hops impart a distinctive tangerine and sweet citrus undertone, while Centennial adds sharp lemon zest and delicate floral aromatics to the bouquet. The sensory profile is underpinned by a clean, bready Pilsner malt base that ensures the beer remains crisp and highly refreshing. Brilliantly clear with a snappy, dry finish, it balances a firm bitterness with vibrant fruit-forward notes. The result is an elegant, pale gold lager that begins with a refreshing citrus pop and concludes with a classic, lingering bitter snap.
Appearance.Straw to deep yellow (SRM 3); brilliant clarity with a tall, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves persistent lacing.
Aroma.Moderate-high hop intensity featuring prominent tangerine, lemon peel, and light floral notes. Supported by a low to medium grainy-sweet, cracker-like malt character. Clean fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial grainy malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by firm hop bitterness and flavors of citrus zest and floral spice. Medium-high bitterness is well-integrated and lingers into a dry, crisp finish. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, accented by a subtle flinty minerality that enhances the refreshing quality.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate-high carbonation that provides a lively, scrubbing sensation. Very low alcohol warmth; smooth with no harshness or astringency.
