Horizon reimagines the classic German Pils through a modern lens, blending a traditional clean, crisp lager base with bold Yakima Valley hops. The result is a brilliantly clear, straw-colored lager that balances delicate, grainy-sweet malt notes of toasted cracker with a vibrant American hop profile. Expect an aromatic burst of tropical mango and zesty grapefruit, followed by sharp lime and a resinous hint of pine. While staying true to the refreshing, dry-finishing nature of a Pilsner, these vibrant hop additions from the Pacific Northwest provide a fruit-forward complexity that elevates the firm bitterness, culminating in a sharp, thirst-quenching finish.
