Viva Premium Pils is a vibrant interpretation of a German Pils, showcasing a unique golden hue and a sensory profile defined by an assertive hop presence. This expression emphasizes a double application of hops, delivering a high intensity of floral and spicy aromas that lead directly into a sharp, refreshing bitterness. The clean fermentation profile ensures a crisp backdrop where lean, grainy malt notes reminiscent of toasted crackers provide a subtle foundation. It strikes a balance between a firm, lingering bitter finish and a snappy, dry mouthfeel, capturing the classic character of premium European lagering with exceptional freshness.
