Day Skipper
Pale straw in colour, pouring with a fluffy white head, and floral aromas from German noble hop varieties laid over a flavour that stays clean, crisp and refreshing. The hop snap is measured rather than aggressive and is pitched to complement a bready malt character. Day Skipper follows the northern German pilsner closely, with no local twist added, and joined the core range as the first beer of that style from the house.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Day Skipper
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.

What is a German Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
