Pelican Pilsner

◎ Appearance

Brilliant pale gold with excellent clarity and bright luminosity typical of the pilsner style. A dense white head forms with fine bubbles and displays good retention, leaving delicate Schaumkleiden along the glass. Carbonation is lively and steady, with a steady stream of small bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with floral and spicy noble-hop character, characteristic of Hersbrucker and Tettnang varieties, layered over a refined toasty and bready malt foundation from Pilsner and Vienna malts. The bouquet is clean and inviting, with no rough edges or oxidative notes, striking a balanced partnership between malt sweetness and herbal hop presence.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with the bready malt character providing a soft, grainy foundation that quickly yields to a clean hoppy bitterness. Mid-palate remains lean and well-defined, avoiding heaviness while maintaining a noble-hop spice that complements the malt without dominating. The bitter notes are restrained at 35 IBU but present throughout, creating a balanced and refreshing profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and hoppy, reminiscent of Northern German pilsner tradition, with a lingering herbal and spicy hop character that fades cleanly without astringency. The aftertaste remains refreshing and moreish, leaving the palate prepared for the next sip.
