Crisp Pilsner Lot 9

Tap to rate

Brewed to a Czech template with a special pale malt and a heavy hop charge, and the house spring water gives it a soft background. The nose is bready malt with spicy hop notes over it. The palate runs rounder and sweeter than the golden colour suggests, with rich malt flavour meeting a balanced hop finish. The bitterness lingers a little without turning hard. Fire-brewed in the same copper kettle as the rest of the range.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced bready and grainy malt character, layered beneath spicy, herbal hop notes that recall classic noble varieties. Beneath these primary aromatics lies a soft, mineral quality from the house spring water, which provides a clean, refreshing backdrop without any yeasty or fermentation-derived esters.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a rounded, slightly sweet malt foundation that belies the beer's pale color, delivering genuine depth from the special pale malt bill. Mid-palate remains smooth and full-bodied, where balanced hoppy spice and residual malt sweetness coexist in equilibrium. The finish transitions to a restrained bitterness that lingers without becoming harsh or astringent, allowing the brewed character to persist.
