Toppling Goliath Brewing Company

German Pilsner·United States·5.5% ABV·One of 380 German Pilsners in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Joy Top Pilsner's dry and noble-hoppy character. Soft herbal notes and a faint lemon zest sit on a base of sweet cereal malt, finishing crisp and dry. Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Tettnang hops supply the aroma. A classic Hochkurz mash, cold fermentation and extended lagering give it brilliant clarity and a rocky white head. At 5.5% ABV, from a brewery known for IPAs and barrel-aged stouts.
