Pre-War Pils

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, clean presentation. The head forms quickly and holds with fine, persistent lacing that clings to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and evenly dispersed, creating a lively but not aggressive mousse.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with cereal grain and subtle corn notes, characteristic of the high-protein American malt and corn grit grist. A light, restrained floral hop presence sits beneath, with no aggressive aromatic qualities. The overall impression is clean and approachable, leaning toward bready grain rather than noble hop complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and malty, with a pronounced bready, slightly sweet character that reflects the corn-forward grain bill. The malt builds gently through the mid-palate, delivering moderate body without heaviness. Bitterness is measured at 32 IBU, providing structure and balance without overwhelming the delicate grain flavors.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering grain notes that fade smoothly without astringency. A gentle refreshing quality persists, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
