BB Pilsner

Tap to rate

A crisp, generously hopped organic pilsner with a fresh scent of newly mown meadow, pine needles and grain. Pronounced hop bitterness gives a snappy finish and sits in balance with a light sweetness. It is hand-brewed in the Czech pilsner tradition with Saaz hops and pours pale golden under a stable white head.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and refreshing, with pronounced hop bitterness that commands the mid-palate without overwhelming. A light malt sweetness provides counterbalance, allowing the hoppy, piney character to remain in focus throughout. The bitterness persists cleanly, with no astringency, supported by a dry, mineral quality.
