Tap to rate

Peace Tree's American Pilsner — 5% ABV, 22 IBU, Pilsner-malt clean base, gentle noble-hop lift, extra-crisp finish. Named for Iowa's 99 counties. Not a German Pils (drier, more assertive hop), not a Mexican lager (no adjunct softness) — the American-Pils middle ground, executed cleanly. Session-friendly at 5% flat.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a soft malt sweetness and bready character that immediately gives way to a crisp, dry mid-palate. The 22 IBU bitterness sits comfortably in the background, providing gentle structure without dominating. The finish is bone-dry and refreshingly clean.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with a clean, hoppy bite that fades quickly into a dry aftertaste. The overall impression is refreshing and sessionable, with no lingering sweetness or astringency.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

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.
