Rivertown Pilsner
Lemon zest and cut grass on the nose from Cascade, Crystal, Dana and Perle hops, then bitter and full-bodied, with bitterness at 3.5 out of 5, sweetness at 2.5 and a well-balanced body. A golden-straw, hop-forward 4.7% Pilsner that reads as a modern take on a European classic. Kegged and bottled, vegan-friendly.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Rivertown Pilsner
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.
