Kelvin Pilsner
A gluten-free pale golden lager brewed entirely from barley malt, with the gluten removed. It pours pale gold with a white foamy head. Fresh-baked bread leads the aroma, joined by hints of lemon, stone fruit and a subtle peppery note; the taste follows with biscuit, malty grain and touches of citrus and spice. The body is light, smooth, crisp and clean. Hallertau Blanc, Saaz and Herkules hops sit on extra pale malt. Earlier batches were sold as Drygate Draft Pilsner and Box Factory Pilsner.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Kelvin Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
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.
