🌍 Germany · German Pilsner · One of 250 German Pilsners in hopIQ

The house pils, brewed in the German manner and poured unfiltered with a little yeast still in suspension. It sits pale gold and softly hazy under a fine white head. The aroma is grainy and lightly herbal, with a floral hop edge from the Elbe-Saale region. The body runs rounder and more malt-sweet than the style usually does, carrying bread dough and a touch of honey, before a firm drying bitterness pulls the close clean. Original gravity 11.8 degrees Plato.
