Flying Jenny

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass with visible lacing as you drink. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, conveying the beer's crisp character from the first visual impression.

◌ Aroma

Noble hops dominate the nose with a pronounced floral and herbal snap characteristic of Saaz and similar Edelhopfen varieties. Below that, a subtle mineral undertone emerges, grounded by a clean, restrained malt foundation. The yeast works invisibly—there is no fruity ester character or oxidative note, only the precise, dry-hopped clarity expected from a lager-fermented Pilsner.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with a sharp hop bite that immediately commands the palate without overwhelming it. The mid-palate reveals subtle citrus and herbal notes that support the noble-hop character, while a light malt sweetness provides balance and body. Bitterness is moderate and refined—22 IBU expressed with precision rather than punch—and fades cleanly into the finish without any astringency or rough edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the hop bitterness persisting gently on the palate. A mineral crispness carries through, leaving the mouth refreshed and eager for the next sip rather than coated or heavy.

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.
