Timbo Pils
Timbo Pils is the beer with which Highland Park Brewery shaped the West Coast Pilsner in 2015, after a blend of the house pilsner and its West Coast IPA at a cask festival turned into a recipe. German-leaning hops in the kettle lay down a soft bitterness and a floral, earthy base, and a dry hop of Mosaic and Citra adds the tropical top. The aroma brings ripe mango, Riesling grape, passion fruit and zesty orange over a lean pale malt base, and the finish stays dry and crisp at 5.8 percent.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Timbo Pils
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.
