PLS
PLS stands for Pale Light Sessionable, La Cumbre's Czech-inspired pilsner: an herbaceous, floral hop aroma balanced by a bracing Saaz bitterness, toasty and refreshing. At 5.1% ABV it is a seasonal from the Albuquerque brewery that opened its doors in 2010, arriving just in time for the cooler weather.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for PLS
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.
