Dos Mares is an elegant collaboration that marries the crisp precision of a German Pils with the bold hop character of an India Pale Lager. The profile is defined by a distinctive addition of rye, which provides a peppery, sophisticated backbone to the sensory experience. High-intensity aromas of grapefruit and floral citrus from Cascade hops are layered with the resinous, earthy spice of Columbus. The malt base is refined and clean, allowing the hops and the rye's unique spiciness to take center stage. At 6.5% ABV, it is more robust than a traditional pilsner, yet it maintains a polished, dry finish and a fine, lingering bitterness.

Appearance. Deep yellow with brilliant clarity; features a thick, creamy white head with excellent retention and delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity with prominent notes of grapefruit, citrus zest, and resinous pine, complemented by an earthy, herbal spice. The malt is low and grainy-sweet, but the addition of rye introduces a clear, peppery snap. The fermentation profile is very clean.

Taste. The initial impression of clean, crackery malt is immediately overtaken by a firm hop bitterness and flavors of citrus and pine. The rye contributes a spicy, slightly grainy complexity through the mid-palate. The balance is hop-forward, finishing crisp and bone-dry with a lingering bitterness and a touch of floral hop character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a subtle, silky viscosity from the rye; moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing, crisp bite. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but not harsh.
