Camden Italian Pilsner

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, luminous quality characteristic of the style. The unfiltered nature yields a gentle haze that catches the light without obscuring the beer's clarity. A fine, persistent head forms and clings to the glass with delicate lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with spicy hop character from Magnum and Spalt Select, delivering black pepper and subtle herbal notes. A dry-hop charge of Saphir intensifies the herbal dimension with a floral, slightly resinous lift. Beneath lies a clean, understated Malz foundation with traces of wheat that add softness without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a balanced interplay of noble hop spice and a dry Pilsner malt body. The mid-palate shows restrained sweetness from wheat and Carapils, allowing hop bitterness to assert itself without harshness. Finish is decidedly dry, with lingering herbal and peppery notes that sustain through the swallow.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste persists with a gentle herbal edge and residual hop spice, fading gradually without astringency. At 5.1% ABV, the alcohol remains entirely transparent, leaving only the character of the Edelhopfen varieties in the memory.
