DDH Timbo Pils

Tap to rate

DDH Timbo Pils is the double dry-hopped version of Timbo Pils, the brewery's West Coast Pilsner. The base recipe stays the same, a crisp lager with a soft bitterness, but the dry hop of Mosaic and Citra is doubled. That pushes the aroma toward bright tangelo zest, ripe mango and orange resin, with a light dank, herbal note underneath. The body remains lean and the finish dry at 5.8 percent, so the added hops show up as fruit and resin on a light pilsner frame.

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The beer shows bright, lively carbonation that sustains throughout the pour. The color reflects the light pilsner malt base, appearing almost translucent.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes of bright tangelo zest and ripe mango, followed by subtle orange resin character from the doubled Mosaic and Citra dry hop. A light herbal and dank undertone provides texture beneath the fruit-forward aromatics. The overall profile is fresh and inviting, with clean lager character supporting the hop expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, driven by the lean pilsner malt foundation with minimal residual sweetness. The mid-palate delivers the dry-hop character—fruity and resinous without overwhelming intensity—while a soft bitterness (35 IBU) integrates smoothly rather than asserting dominance. The beer maintains its refreshing quality throughout, with the malt acting as a neutral canvas for the hop aromatics.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and snappy, with the resinous character lingering briefly on the palate before fading cleanly. No residual sweetness or harshness remains—a classic pilsner conclusion that invites another sip.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

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.
