Pierre Le Chat is a sophisticated German Pils executed with a nod to the Italian style of dry-hopping. This brilliant lager presents an expressive bouquet characterized by strawberry leaf and the rustic, earthy notes of a hay loft, punctuated by the vibrant aromatic zing of lemon peel. The foundation is built on delicate continental malts that offer nuances of toasted crackers and light honey, while a firm, clean bitterness drives the palate toward a refreshing conclusion. At 4.6% ABV, it maintains exceptional drinkability, balancing high hop intensity with a bone-dry finish and the crisp, minerally bite essential to the style.
Appearance.Brilliant straw gold (approximately 3 SRM) with a thick, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderately high hop intensity featuring herbal and flowery notes with distinct accents of strawberry leaf and dried hay. A clean, grainy-sweet malt presence suggests fresh dough and light honey, complemented by a sharp lemon peel citrus character. Clean lager fermentation with no esters.
Taste.Initial impressions of doughy, cracker-like malt are swiftly eclipsed by a firm, clean hop bitterness. Flavors of lemon zest and herbal tea lead into a rustic, earthy mid-palate. The balance is decidedly bitter-leaning, finishing crisp and very dry with a lingering herbal hop aftertaste and a touch of flinty mineral character.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderately high carbonation that provides a prickly, refreshing sensation. The finish is sharp and clean without astringency or harshness, showing a well-attenuated, light texture.
