Anvil Pilsner
Bready, grainy malt and light floral hops lead this pilsner, with a soft tropical fruit ester and a restrained bitterness. The brewery took its inspiration from its favorite European lagers and says to drink it fresh. It is brewed year-round at 4.9% ABV and comes in 12 oz six-packs and on draft in 5 and 15.5 gallon kegs.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Anvil Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
