Lazy River Pils
Brewed as a traditional German pils, this 4.4% beer shows a bright orange-citrus aroma and noble, floral notes. Citra (also as a dry-hop) and German Tettnang do the hopping, over Pilsner and Munich malts from Germany. At the 2019 Great American Beer Festival it won Gold in the Contemporary American-Style Pilsner category.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Lazy River Pils
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.
