MT Pils

Tap to rate

MT Pils is a year-round lager brewed with pilsner malt alone and hopped with Saaz and Tettnang. The brewery describes a delicate noble-hop aroma leading into a very crisp, clean beer. The hops bring floral, lightly spicy and herbal notes, while the all-pilsner-malt base adds soft cracker and fresh bread dough. It ferments out dry, leaving a brisk, snappy finish with a light grassy note.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean, with the pilsner malt providing a soft, bread-like foundation that avoids any grainy heaviness. Noble hops deliver floral and herbal notes with a gentle spice edge, while the moderate 34 IBUs bring structure without aggression. The beer ferments completely dry, leaving no residual sweetness to soften the snappy, brisk character.
